"For the first time in nine years, there are no Americans fighting in Iraq. Osama bin Laden is no longer a threat to this country. Al Qaeda is on the path to defeat. And by 2014 the war in Afghanistan will be over.

America is safer and more respected because of the courage and selflessness of the United States Armed Forces. And as long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, this country will care for our veterans and serve our veterans as well as they've served us -- because nobody who fights for this country should have to fight for a job or a roof over their heads when they come home.

My opponent says he won't set a timeline for ending the war in Afghanistan. I have, and I attend to keep it. After a decade of war that's cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, the nation we need to build is our own. I will use half of what we're no longer spending on war to pay down the deficit, and the other half to repair our roads and bridges; our runways and our wireless networks.

That's the choice in this election, to rebuild America."
