This Sunday, Senator Jim Webb will appear on Meet the Press to discuss U.S. policy in Afghanistan. In recent weeks, Senator Webb has emphasized that the Obama administration’s review of U.S. policies in Afghanistan must contain clear and attainable objectives with a defined and understandable endpoint and warned that the United States runs the risk of being perceived as an occupying force.
Responding to General McChrystal’s recommendations, Senator Webb stated that, “we have reached a turning point in Afghanistan as to whether we are going to formally adopt nation-building as a policy.”
