- Quotes of Importance -
“Let’s be clear that the date of July 2011 to begin transferring security responsibility and thinning our troops and bringing them home is firm. What is conditions based is the pacing at which our troops will come home and the pace at which we will turn over responsibility to the Afghans. And that will be based on conditions on the ground.”
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates
