The warning message we sent the Russians was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood.

We didn't do anything wrong, but among the lessons learned, given the magnitude of the problems we now face in Afghanistan, a major U.S. force on the ground would convince the world we were in for the long-haul recovery of a country devastated by 21 years of warfare.

I think this community's sent you a message, ... I'd basically say you're on probation.

Fear is only the warning of greatness, go through the fear and you will receive greatness.

I didn't think Palmer should have been killed at all. I didn't like the message that it sent. There is too much meanness in the world - why kill off a character that is so loved by everybody?

The message has gone out very clearly to everybody that we're going to be efficient, we're going to cut through red tape, but we're not going to cut though the laws,
