Michael Steele has given new remarks about the Afghan war, this time emphasizing how he does believe that victory is possible:

"We don't need the fight inside our own house," Steele told the cheering audience of about 300 people. "I'm tired of it. End it tonight."

His call for unity at Green Valley Ranch in Henderson followed Steele's effort to clarify his Afghanistan remarks.

"I know that my remarks may have been a little bit confusing or misunderstood," Steele said. "Afghanistan is a war we can win.

"It is perhaps the hardest place in the world to win a war but this is America, and with the right leadership, and with the right resources and the right rules of engagement on the ground, we not only can win, we must win. We will win and we will not leave our soldiers alone in the battle."
