House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement tonight after President Obama delivered remarks at West Point Military Academy on the Administration strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan:
"President Obama inherited a deteriorating situation in Afghanistan because the Bush Administration did not have a plan to get the job done.
"Tonight, the President articulated a way out of this war with the mission of defeating Al Qaeda and preventing terrorists from using Afghanistan and Pakistan as safe havens to again launch attacks against the United States and our allies. The President has offered President Karzai a chance to prove that he is a reliable partner. The American people and the Congress will now have an opportunity to fully examine this strategy.
"Our troops in Afghanistan and around the world have performed excellently; they have done everything that has been asked of them. As always, we are grateful and respectful of the enormous sacrifices our men and women in uniform, and their families, have made."
