OBAMA ON AFGHANISTAN

I'm confident that at the end of this process we will be able to present to the American people in very clear terms what exactly is at stake what we intend to do, how we're going to succeed, how much it's going to cost, how long it's going to take - and I think that's what owed the American people because frankly over the last several years that's not what they've gotten,” Obama said on NBC, taking a dig at the Bush administration.
