war states worst
The worst thing for an effective war on terror is the suspicion of states about the objectives.
war people terrorism
If it is terrorism, if it is war on terror, then the Afghan people will join you on terror.
war believe political
The war on terror, if this is a war on terror, can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.
motivation war believe
But the war on terror as I have repeatedly said in the past, and the Afghan people believe in it, in truth, is that the war on terror is not in the Afghan villages or homes. Its in the sanctuaries, it is in the training grounds, its in the motivation factors and the money that comes to it.
block war reality
The ongoing war in Afghanistan is being imposed on us, and Afghans are being sacrificed in it for someone else's interests. We are not blocking the interests of the United States or other major powers. But we are demanding that if you consider Afghanistan the place from which to advance your interests, then you should also pay attention to Afghanistan's interests.
community stand work
There's so much more work to be done ... Afghanistan is still not be able to stand on its own feet, ... The international community should even give more.
challenge serious terrorist
We do not think a serious terrorist challenge is emanating from Afghanistan.
afghan committed determine letting people
committed to letting the Afghan people determine their own future.
coming money supply terrorists
concentrate on where terrorists are trained, on their bases, on the supply to them, on the money coming to them.
afghan came care happy people sure voted
We are very happy that this went on peacefully, we are very happy that the Afghan people came to participate so massively. That's what I care about -- the will of the Afghan people, and I'm sure the Afghan people have voted freely, without fear, without intimidation.
against terrorism
The fight, this war, this fight against the remnants of terrorism will go on for some time.
Terrorism as a force is gone. As individuals they are all around and we will continue to look for them.
I never call it an insurgency. I call it terrorism.
They're criminals, they brutalized Afghanistan, they killed our people, they destroyed our land.
