CNSNews.com - ‘Remains to Be Seen’ If Afghanistan Can Stand Alone After U.S. Troops Start Withdrawal, Says Sen. Crapo: "(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) told CNSNews.com that “it remains to be seen” if Afghanistan will be able to stand on its own after U.S. troops begin to pull out in July 2011.
“Well I think if we’re successful in our mission, that we will be able to see the Pakistani, or excuse me, the Afghan government begin to assert the control both through the military and police forces, but I think that remains to be seen,” Crapo told CNSNews.com.
Prior to talking to CNSNews.com on Tuesday, Crapo, along with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sens Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) held a press conference to discuss their recent trip as a GOP delegation to Afghanistan and Pakistan, from which they returned on Monday, Jan. 11."
