"I spent last year in Afghanistan, visiting and talking with U.S. troops and their

more than seven years of optimistic statements by U.S. senior leaders
in Afghanistan?" – Lt. Col. David L. Davis

discussion of Afghanistan in Director Clapper’s statement for the
record and the bleaker description in the [classified] December
2011 [National Intelligence Estimate]." – Sen. Diane Feinstein
