Paul Ryan on Afghanistan: ‘If They Believe if We Have an End Date, Some Timetable, They Will Wait Us Out’

RUSH EXCERPT:

RYAN: "In my travels there, I kept hearing the same thing. They have the time, we have the watches. Meaning they will wait us out. And if they believe that we have some end date, some timetable, then they will wait us out, and then they will come back and fill that vacuum with terror. And that is why I think it's important that we don't telegraph -- I think that was a strategic mistake the last president made. We shouldn't telegraph our timetable when we're leaving so we can actually make the purpose of being there. The purpose of being there is to make sure we don't have another 9/11. Not to give Al Qaeda a safe haven to plan and get money and come and have a terrorist attack against us. So I think it's very important that we not do that."
