MITCHELL: It's not – the Taliban are burning them down. The Taliban are – they're going to have an enormous spring offensive. It is coming. You know, there are a lot of people who are getting popped. Women are wearing burkas.

ROS-LEHTINEN: I was in Jalalabad. And let me tell you what was going on in Jalalabad.

MAHER: “Everything is up to date in Jalalabad.”

BELZER: They've got cable!

ROS-LEHTINEN: We are building roads.

MAHER: They've got a Starbucks.
