00:00
This year, we will bring America's longest war to a responsible end.
00:05
As we speak, the United States is also working to end the war in Afghanistan.
00:10
It's time to end America's longest war.
00:17
Today, I signed a historic agreement between the United States and Afghanistan
00:21
that defines a new kind of relationship between our countries,
00:25
a future in which war ends and a new chapter begins.
00:29
We are continuing to reduce troops in Afghanistan.
00:32
We're working with Pakistan and others on getting an agreement signed, as you know.
00:37
When I came to office, I inherited a diplomatic agreement
00:42
duly negotiated between the government of the United States and the Taliban
00:47
that all U.S. forces would be out of Afghanistan by May 1, 2021,
00:54
just three months after my inauguration.
00:57
The full cost of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
01:01
For seven years, we've been a nation at war. No longer will we hide its price.
01:06
We will forge a new and comprehensive strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan
01:11
to defeat al Qaeda and combat extremism.
01:14
Afghanistan, 19 years I think is long enough, but we're serving as policemen, right?
01:19
We cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in Afghanistan,
01:25
hoping to create ideal conditions for the withdrawal and expecting a different result.
01:32
Here in Lisbon, we agreed that early 2011 will mark the beginning of a transition to Afghan responsibility.
01:39
And we adopted the goal of Afghan forces taking the lead for security across the country by the end of 2014.
01:46
The American people are weary of war without victory.
01:53
Nowhere is this more evident than with the war in Afghanistan, the longest war in American history, 17 years.
02:03
I'm now the fourth United States president to preside over American troop presence in Afghanistan.
02:09
Two Republicans, two Democrats. I will not pass this responsibility onto a fifth.
02:16
In the coming months, I'll announce the next phase of our drawdown.
02:20
And by the end of next year, America's war in Afghanistan will be over.
02:25
Everyone said that if I was elected, I'd be at war in one week. It's been just the opposite.
02:30
We're doing very well in Afghanistan, bringing the troops down very low level.
02:34
U.S. troops, as well as forces deployed by our NATO allies and operational partners,
02:40
will be out of Afghanistan before we mark the 20th anniversary of that heinous attack on September 11th.
02:47
This year, we will bring America's longest war to a responsible end.
02:54
The United States did not seek this fight. We went into Afghanistan out of necessity.
03:01
We were supposed to be in Afghanistan for a short period of time.
03:05
We're now going to be there for close to 19 years. It's time to bring them home.
03:10
We went to Afghanistan because of a horrific attack that happened 20 years ago.
03:16
That cannot explain why we should remain there in 2021.
