Statement on Afghanistan

I applaud President Obama’s decision to surge additional forces to Afghanistan. However, I am troubled by his denial of General McChrystal’s full request for 40,000 troops, and his declaration of a timetable for withdrawal. Success should be the only precondition for drawing down American troops. Setting a timetable for withdrawal signals that we are more interested in leaving than winning. We can put pressure on and send a message to Afghanistan’s leaders to perform without setting a specific timeframe. As a former Navy SEAL and veteran of the Iraq war, I have worked with and know that we have the finest fighting force on the planet; they deserve national leadership that is as committed to winning as they are. We need a clarion call for success and commitment from the President, Congress, and our allies. I urge President Obama to let conditions on the ground guide our eventual drawdown.
