Quotations

"I'm not happy about expanding the [Afghanistan] war. It's the kind of war where you know no one's going to surrender, so I don't know how they'll ever going to decide they won. It's like this open-ended [war] that could just go on forever." (Dec. 29, 2009; photo democratandchronicle.com)
