Congressman Rohrabacher on Afghanistan: Start Drawdown Now

CONGRESSMAN ROHRABACHER: First of all, we drove people into the hands of the Taliban by sending foreign troops into their country. We shouldn't incorporate radical Muslims into the central government. A better approach would be to up the ante by paying off tribal leaders to win back those that joined the Taliban in the first place - it's a lot cheaper and it's easier to do that.

CONGRESSMAN ROHRABACHER: Within a year we should start drawing down - if we do it the right way we can start drawing down right now, because it does not take a large number of U.S. troops to execute the strategy of buying militia leaders and building alliances in the villages.

However, there is a price. I am a major supporter of human rights - especially women's rights, but in order to buy support at the local levels, the downside is we can't just overthrow their current cultural and societal norms and push Western values on them. - Congressman Rohrabacher on Afghanistan: Start Drawdown Now
