A prolonged installed conflict would have required more troops and more resources with no clear timeline. And I don't believe that we could ask our servicemen and women to give their lives [for a mission] that, in the end, wouldn't have been successful. I do, like many of you here, applaud our troops for the tallest effort to evacuate American citizens, our allies, Afghan citizens, and everyone threatened by the Taliban. (00:25–00:32)
