I think indeed our response on counterinsurgency needs to be finely tuned to the needs of Afghanistan. This is not Iraq. We don't have a Sons of Iraq here. We don't have the same divisions here that we had between Sunni and Shia.

More quotes by Rahm Emanuel
Personally, I don't pick books for how people think about me. I read books so I can learn.
Rahm Emanuel
The person who takes the oath of office in the next four months will shape not just the next four years, but the next forty years of our nation. In these next four years, we need proven leadership, proven judgment and proven values. America needs four more years of President Barack Obama.
Rahm Emanuel
I should say the leadership's proposal in the Senate and the House are very unpopular. And when people realize it will raise taxes, raise their insurance premiums cost and explode the deficit, they think twice about it.
Rahm Emanuel
Take your f***ing tampon out and tell me what you have to say.
Rahm Emanuel
Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values.
Rahm Emanuel
Republicans are 'bad people who deserve a two-by-four upside their heads.'
Rahm Emanuel
We're proud of the work we're doing to make Chicago a great city for people of all ages. Nothing's more important than keeping in mind the needs of older adults - and how valuable a role they play in improving the city, based on their amazing collective talent and wisdom.
Rahm Emanuel
Things happened there that I don't think are the finest hours for anybody, whether it was a journalist, the legal system or, in that case of the political system, who would say that was an example of when Washington worked best.
Rahm Emanuel
Our troops are the best in the world. I have absolute confidence in the ability of the troops who are here, or additional troops, to do their part.
Rahm Emanuel
No officer should be allowed to behave as if they are above the law, just because they are responsible for upholding the law.
Rahm Emanuel
What is more comforting to the terrorists around the world: the failure to pass the 9/11 legislation because we lacked 'a majority of the majority,' or putting aside partisan politics to enact tough new legislation with America's security foremost in mind?
Rahm Emanuel
When President Obama entered the White House, the economy was in a free-fall. The auto industry: on its back. The banks: frozen up. More than three million Americans had already lost their jobs. And America's bravest, our men and women in uniform, were fighting what would soon be the longest wars in our history.
Rahm Emanuel
I do not believe that a counterterrorism strategy all by itself, without a sufficient level of counterinsurgency, will work.
Rahm Emanuel
The fact is, Bush's war policy has failed. It's failed! Who better to say so than Jack Murtha?
Rahm Emanuel
I saw the president make the tough calls in the Situation Room - and today, our troops in Iraq have finally come home so America can do some nation building here at home. That was the change that we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
Rahm Emanuel
Nearly losing my life made me want to live my life.
Rahm Emanuel
Banks are slowly but surely lending again, and never again will taxpayers foot the bill for Wall Street’s excesses. In case we forgot, that was the change we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
Rahm Emanuel
[Obama White House] rescued the economy from the worst recession.
Rahm Emanuel
The American people... want change. They want big ideas, big reform.
Rahm Emanuel
I wake up some mornings hating me too.
