| Quote | "As retired General Jack Keane told the New York Sun last week, "The tragedy of these efforts is we are on the cusp of potentially being successful in the next year in a way that we have failed in the three-plus preceding years, but because of this political pressure, it looks like we intend to pull out the rug from underneath that potential success." [...] Such a frivolous and thoughtless betrayal of our fighting men would be too contemptible to be called tragedy."
