We Look Weak. We Look Like We Don't Know What's Going On

I got it down to two thousand soldiers. We were going to withdraw, but we weren't leaving 85 billion dollars worth of equipment. And i spoke to the talaban, the leader, abdul and i said, don't ever kill any of our soldiers. Don't ever kill one more soldier. I won't go into the exact conversation, but a under certain er, if certain people ask, i'll tell them exactly what the conversation was. But we look weak. We look stupid. We look like we don't know what we're doing. Nobody's ever seen the country like this."
