GINGRICH: Well, I think our mission should be to create a stable enough Afghanistan government that it can survive without being defeated by the Taliban as we draw down. And I think people need to understand if we get defeated in Afghanistan, if we're driven out of Afghanistan following what happened to the Soviets and what happened in the 19th century to the British, all of our enemies around the world will take heart, and we will have recreated a training ground for terrorism on a grand scale.
