It seems, uh, one minute he was here... the next minute, not here.
Ah. Well, Mr. President, I think our government simply felt it was... time our effort took a new direction.
- And, uh, what is this new direction?
- Ah!
It is most important to me that we build Afghanistan.
Together, we build Afghanistan into a free and prosperous nation.
Free from fear and conflict.
- I see. I see.
- Yeah.
Sounds a lot like the old direction.
No.
But perhaps you yourself are the new direction.
New strong personality.
New energy. New commitment.
Well, General, I wish you the best of luck.
Sir, uh... my team and I are about to embark on a, uh... a tour of the country so that we may make an assessment to precisely understand what is required of us here.
It would be an honor if you would consider joining me on the tour, so that our project might be a unified endeavor.
Hmm.
A sharing of our purpose... Of our shared purpose.
