Quotations regarding 'Afghanistan'

Choose a letter: 
We are so appreciative of the men and women in uniform who are protecting us, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq or on ships around the world. For our security, they are taking the offensive to the terrorists overseas.
George Allen, American Politician (1952-  )
Romania will continue to fulfil its obligations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Traian Basescu, Romanian Politician (1951-  )
Military hardliners called me a 'security threat' for promoting peace in South Asia and for supporting a broad-based government in Afghanistan.
Benazir Bhutto, Pakistani Leader (1953-2007)
This is now a global war on terror and, indeed, it is important, it is imperative that we win in the battles in Afghanistan and that we win in the battles in Iraq. And as the gentleman from Georgia has mentioned, this is not something that is going to be quick and easy.
Marsha Blackburn, American Politician (1952-  )
America has survived and grown stronger through September 11th and subsequent wars with Afghanistan and Iraq and those who seek to do us harm. We have faced - and met - tremendous challenges ramping up a public health and safety system to protect Americans from future threats.
Christopher Bond, American Politician (1939-  )
I am now concerned with women's issues in a different way: women from Afghanistan, from Cambodia.
Emma Bonino, Italian Politician (1948-  )
You know, I wish the world well. I want Iraq to have democracy and the Haitians to have democracy. I want the people of Afghanistan to thrive. Lord knows, we spend enough money there to help them. What about people at home? Isn't that our first responsibility?
Barbara Boxer, American Politician (1940-  )
The events of September 11 and what has happened since have made people understand that even a small, distant and far away country like Afghanistan cannot be left to break up into anarchy and chaos without consequences for the whole world.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Public Servant (1934-  )
Several million people inside and outside Afghanistan are destitute and desperately in need of help.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Public Servant (1934-  )
However, it does seem now that the international community, more importantly the powers that have influence, and, even more importantly, Afghanistan's neighbors realize that it is high time that they work together, and not against one another.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Public Servant (1934-  )
The third point is that for some time the UN has been talking about helping Afghanistan in the reconstruction of the country but there has never been any real commitment by the international community to provide resources for that.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Public Servant (1934-  )
But you are absolutely right that when the international community decides to help in a meaningful manner a country like Afghanistan, then coordination between the various actors that are involved in these processes is very, very difficult indeed.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Public Servant (1934-  )
But I knew that what had happened was an eye-opener not only to the United States but also to Pakistan, who realized that after what has happened on the 11th of September, it was simply impossible to continue to play those games in Afghanistan.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Public Servant (1934-  )
Afghanistan is a land-locked country.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Public Servant (1934-  )
A fly cannot go in unless it stops somewhere; therefore weapons, fuel, food, money will not go to Afghanistan unless the neighbors of Afghanistan are working, are cooperating, either being themselves the origin or the transit.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Public Servant (1934-  )
To leave Afghanistan as a playground for terrorists and adventurers was simply not possible anymore.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Public Servant (1934-  )
According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, American Politician (1928-  )
The men and women of Afghanistan are building a nation that is free, and proud, and fighting terror - and America is honored to be their friend.
George W. Bush, American President (1946-  )
I believe in the transformational power of liberty. I believe that the free Iraq is in this nation's interests. I believe a free Afghanistan is in this nation's interest.
George W. Bush, American President (1946-  )
I also know that there are a lot of people around the United States who want my husband to win and who are for him and who support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I feel good about those people, too.
Laura Bush, American First Lady (1946-  )
