FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, February 17, 2009

STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today made the following statement regarding increasing U.S. Forces in Afghanistan:

“I welcome the President's decision to deploy additional troops to Afghanistan,” said Senator John McCain. “The situation there has deteriorated for several years, particularly in the south, and it is now dire. It is clear that success in Afghanistan will require additional troops and resources, including from the United States. In light of conditions on the ground, the additional force levels announced today can make a significant difference. “More troops alone, however, will not lead to success there,” Senator McCain continued. “I believe the President must spell out for the American people what he believes victory in Afghanistan will look like and articulate a coherent strategy for achieving it. Today, notwithstanding the administration's ongoing policy reviews, there still exists no integrated civil-military plan for this war – more than seven years after we began military operations. Such a strategy should spell out the way forward, including the additional resource requirements for its execution. “So while I welcome today's announcement, I hope it is just the first step in a new comprehensive approach to Afghanistan. A major change in course is long overdue.”

2. McSenile will claim this is his example of 'bipartsanship'.

Not quite the same thing...

Hey, I am appreciative of his service to this country, but his attitude in Election 2008 was grossly UNPRESIDENTIAL.
