McCain Knocks July, 2011 Afghanistan Deadline - ABCnews

In an EXCLUSIVE interview on “This Week,” Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., told host Jake Tapper that the Afghanistan strategy “has not gone as well as we had hoped” but he thought President Obama’s date for beginning to transition U.S. troops out of the country was a bad idea.

“What I worry about more than anything else is the July of 2011 firm date” for beginning to withdraw American forces, McCain said. “In other words, we need a conditions-based situation, not a date for withdrawal.”

The Senator said having a “date certain” for beginning to reduce the American military presence in Afghanistan “sounds an uncertain trumpet.” - McCain Knocks July, 2011 Afghanistan Deadline
