"Afghanistan akan cukup sulit tanpa Irak. Irak membuatnya tidak mungkin. Argumen yang tadinya kita hanya fokus pada Afghanistan sekarang kita akan baik-baik saja adalah persuasif, tetapi itu menghilangkan fakta bahwa kita tidak seharusnya terlibat dalam pembangunan bangsa di Afghanistan. Dalam buku baru saya, saya membuka dengan kutipan dari Donald Rumsfeld. Pada Oktober 2001, dia berkata tentang Afghanistan: "Itu bukan rawa." Sepuluh tahun kemudian ada 150.000 pasukan Barat di sana."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
Afghanistan would have been difficult enough without Iraq. Iraq made it impossible. The argument that had we just focused on Afghanistan we'd now be okay is persuasive, but it omits the fact that we weren't supposed to get involved in nation-building in Afghanistan.In my new book, I open with a quote from Donald Rumsfeld. In October 2001, he said of Afghanistan: "It's not a quagmire." Ten years later there are 150,000 Western troops there.
