McCain: Avoid 'historic' error in Afghanistan

Source: CNN

Oct 11, 2009

Summary

Sen. John McCain says any added military deployment in Afghanistan smaller than the 40,000 troops "would be an error of historic proportions." Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," McCain pointed to the success of the troop "surge" in Iraq and said "our allies in the region are beginning to get the impression that perhaps we are wavering" on Afghanistan.
