WKBT La Crosse, WI-NewsChannel 8-Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold calls Obama's Afghan War Strategy the "wrong move"
Member Center:
Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold says he believes an increase of U.S. troops in Afghanistan is the wrong move in the fight against Al Qaeda.
The Wisconsin Democrat says he wants Obama to acknowledge that it doesn't make sense to keep pouring resources into Afghanistan.
"It's a great concept to try to nation build Afghanistan but it probably wouldn't work and in fact, it cannot possibly be our number one international or domestic priority given the pressures we're facing," says Feingold.
U.S. Senator Herb Kohl says President Obama's new war strategy should be given a chance to work, but to remember it's not an open-ended commitment if the Afghan people and government fail to do their part.
