    “we have capability to go far longer than that”

    The speaker said the U.S. had the capability to continue the operation substantially longer than four to five weeks.

    The claim concerns stated military capacity, not the operation’s eventual duration. Pentagon officials subsequently said U.S. weapons stockpiles allowed the campaign to be sustained “as long as we need to,” supporting the assertion as stated.
