Než se Barack Obama stal prezidentem, tvrdil, že USA nemají v Afghánistánu dostatek vojáků v terénu, a proto „bombardují vesnice a zabíjejí civilisty, což tam způsobuje obrovské problémy“.
Before Barack Obama became President, he argued that, because the US did not have enough troops on the ground in Afghanistan, it was “air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there.”
