Trump says U.S. commitment in Afghanistan is "not unlimited" and "not a blank check"
The president said that "military power alone will not bring peace to Afghanistan."
"Our commitment is not unlimited and our support is not a blank check," he said.
Mr. Trump said that the Afghan government must carry its share of the military and economic burden.
U.S. to ask NATO for additional troops and funding in Afghanistan

Trump commits to providing "necessary tools" to make strategy work
The president said that he has already lifted restrictions the Obama administration on war fighters that prevented the defense secretary and commanders in the field. He said, "Micromanagement from Washington, D.C. does not win battles."
Mr. Trump said that his administration will also expand authority for American armed forces to target terrorist and criminal networks in Afghanistan.
U.S. strategy in Afghanistan and South Asia will "change dramatically," Trump says
The president discussed three pillars of his decision, based on the comprehensive review conducted by his administration.
First, the U.S. will shift from a "time-based approach to one based on conditions." Mr. Trump said that his administration will "not talk about numbers of troops" or plans for further military operations. He said that "conditions on the ground, not arbitrary timetables must guide our strategy from now on." Mr. Trump added, "I will not say when we're going to attack, but attack we will."
Second, the president said that Afghanistan will require the integration of diplomatic, economic and military solutions in which one day, a political settlement could occur that might involve elements of the Taliban. But he emphasized that the U.S. is not interest in "nation-building" but instead, in killing terrorists.
Third, Mr. Trump said that the U.S. must change its approach on how to deal with Pakistan, which he said provides safe havens for terrorists. The president added that the U.S. must further develop its relationship so that India could assist in Afghanistan in the areas of economic assistance.
Trump says he arrived at three conclusions in evaluating U.S. strategy in Afghanistan
The president said that shortly after his inauguration, he directed Defense Secretary James Mattis and his national security team to undergo a comprehensive review of all strategic options in Afghanistan.
"My original instinct was to pull out and historically, I like following my instincts," he said, adding that that changes when you become president.
"I studied Afghanistan in great detail and from every conceivable angle."
The president says he share's Americans' "frustration" with "longest war in American history"
Mr. Trump said that Americans are "weary of war without victory," referring to the war in Afghanistan, which he said has gone on for 17 years.
"I share the American people's frustration. I also share their frustration over a foreign policy that has [spent] too much time trying to rebuild countries in our own image instead of pursuing our security interests," he said.
Trump says U.S. troops deserve to return to a country "that is not at war with itself at home"
Following Charlottesville, Mr. Trump said that "a wound inflicted upon a single member of our community is a wound inflicted upon us all."
"When one part of America hurts, we all hurt," he said. "And when one citizen suffers an injustice, we all suffer together."
The president said there's "no tolerance for hate" and troops deserve to return to a country that is "not at war with itself at home."
Trump sends "thoughts and prayers" to sailors on USS McCain
The president said he sends his thoughts and prayers to the families of the "brave sailors" and to those conducting the search and recovery. He said he's delivering a speech tonight on the path forward in Afghanistan and South Asia.
Mr. Trump said that since the nation's founding, the U.S. has had a special class of "heroes" whose "selflessness, courage and resolve is unmatched" in history.
"We can find the inspiration our country needs to unify, to heal, and to remain one nation under God," he said.

Trump says he arrived at three conclusions in evaluating U.S. strategy in Afghanistan
- The president said that the U.S. must seek an "honorable and enduring outcome" in Afghanistan because he said servicemembers "deserve a plan for victory."
- Mr. Trump said that the consequences of a rapid exit are "predictable and unacceptable." He said that it would create a "vacuum" that terrorists like al Qaeda and ISIS would instantly fill. He criticized the Obama administration for the 2011 decision to "hastily" and "mistakenly" withdraw from Iraq.
- The president said that he concluded that the security threat the U.S. faces in Afghanistan is "immense." He said there are 20 designated foreign terrorist organizations in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The president said that shortly after his inauguration, he directed Defense Secretary James Mattis and his national security team to undergo a comprehensive review of all strategic options in Afghanistan.

Hopefully some tweets pop up with all of the highlights from CNN's town hall with Paul Ryan.

shots fired at pakistan was a surprise.
did anyone notice the "with honor" part of his speach?
sound familiar?

Remember when he was pushing the whole "we can't let our enemies know our plans, they are secret" 
I see he's still at it, "I am not going to say when we are going to attack....but we are going to attack...."
very clever.
