Text Quotes
As a reporter, I embedded for modest stints with American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. When I’m asked about those experiences, I always say - and mean - that we civilians don’t deserve the soldiers we have  (Afghanistan Quotes) I was in Afghanistan and then obviously in Iraq. And I realized that you can’t control life. You can do a lot to prepare. You can train, and at the end of the day there’s an element that’s always going to be beyond your control  (Afghanistan Quotes) An information operations team was sent to Afghanistan to conduct various psychological operations on the Afghans and Taliban. The team was then asked not to focus on the Taliban but on manipulating senators into giving more funds and troops [to the war]  (Afghanistan Quotes) But in Afghanistan, the general rule was that since you were fighting the Taliban, which was not a lawful government force, the Geneva Conventions did not apply. And that led to a lot of excesses in Afghanistan, excesses like Abu Ghraib that were already well-publicized  (Afghanistan Quotes) The people who died in the Twin Towers in that terrible crime mattered. The people who were bombed to death in dusty villages in Afghanistan didn’t matter, even though it now seems that their numbers were greater. The people who will die in Iraq don’t matter  (Afghanistan Quotes) While I disagree with our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, I have nothing but respect and admiration for the men and women deployed in these places.  (Afghanistan Quotes) We as the Afghan people and government are willing to help Pakistan work for peace in Afghanistan and work for peace in Pakistan, together.  (Afghanistan Quotes) We are not in Afghanistan because girls were not allowed to go to school, but helping them do so will give the Afghan people hope for a better future.  (Afghanistan Quotes) If American forces leave Afghanistan, the Taliban is going to do what to America? Don’t say you’re worried about what they will do to the Afghan people. If that was America’s concern, America’s operational presence there would be much different.  (Afghanistan Quotes) I would have voted ‘no’ on the Iraq war and ‘yes’ to Afghanistan  (Afghanistan Quotes) Afghanistan and Iraq were lumped together in what was called a ‘global war on terrorism.’  (Afghanistan Quotes) Anyone who’s traveled with me to Afghanistan knows why I love this book: ‘War,’ by Sebastian Junger.  (Afghanistan Quotes) It’s an amazing thing to hear they’re finally giving out a Medal of Honor to a soldier from the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.  (Afghanistan Quotes) You could say that bad typography brought us the Afghanistan war, the Iraq war, the housing crisis and a good number of other things.  (Afghanistan Quotes) Iraq and Afghanistan will, over time, become stable. But the War on Terror will continue long after Iraq and Afghanistan have had success in standing up their own governments.  (Afghanistan Quotes) I think 2001 was the year Al Jazeera started to play an international role, in a way. Because in 2001, we were the only TV station located inside Kabul, and every image out of the war in Afghanistan, the beginning of the war in Afghanistan, came through Al Jazeera screen.  (Afghanistan Quotes) During the 19th century, Britain fought two wars in unsuccessful attempts to subjugate the Afghans. When Britain finally drew a border between India and Afghanistan in 1893, Pashtun tribes in southern Afghanistan were cut off from related tribes across the border in what was then India and is now Pakistan.  (Afghanistan Quotes) I wanted to write about Afghanistan before the Soviet war because that is largely a forgotten period in modern Afghan history.  (Afghanistan Quotes) My last passport, I had North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Liberia, Guinea... I had, like, every war-torn country in there.  (Afghanistan Quotes) Sacrifice is going to war for your country. Sacrifice is a brave young man being blown up by a landmine in Afghanistan.  (Afghanistan Quotes) From the War for Independence to today in Iraq and Afghanistan, I am inspired by the courage, professionalism and patriotism of our men and women in uniform.  (Afghanistan Quotes) I generally don’t follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I’m covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.  (Afghanistan Quotes) After all the sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq, why do we find ourselves in a more dangerous world?  (Afghanistan Quotes) The big question now is who will take power in Afghanistan once the Taliban is defeated. I was thinking, how about Al Gore? He’s not doing anything, he needs a job, and he’s already got the beard.  (Afghanistan Quotes) The United States does not view our authority to use military force against Al Qaeda as being restricted solely to ‘hot’ battlefields like Afghanistan.  (Afghanistan Quotes) I want the American people to understand, we have a clear and focused goal: to disrupt, dismantle and defeat Al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan.  (Afghanistan Quotes) It’s important to understand the origins of ISIS were in the chaos of Iraq and Libya, and the origins of Al Qaeda were in Afghanistan.  (Afghanistan Quotes) The mission - the overall mission is to dismantle and defeat and disrupt al-Qaeda. But we have to make sure there’s not a safe haven that returns in Afghanistan.  (Afghanistan Quotes) Afghanistan remains an opportunity to deal al Qaeda a vital strategic blow, especially since we have abandoned all operations - including counterterrorism operations - in Iraq.  (Afghanistan Quotes) You would have thought that after 9/11 the president would have finished the job in Afghanistan, and kept the focus on capturing Bin Laden and his al-Qaeda deputies, but he and his team gave top priority to their original plan to invade Iraq.  (Afghanistan Quotes)
