Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press this morning, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) added his voice to a growing chorus of Democrats who oppose sending more US troops to Afghanistan.
“Sending additional troops would not be the right thing to do,” Durbin said. Referencing a floor speech that Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) gave Friday on the same point, Durbin said, “I agree with Senator Levin.”
“Let the Afghans bring stability to their own country,” Durbin said Sunday. “Let’s work with them to make that happen.”
Earlier this morning, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said on CNN that she doesn’t think Afghanistan can function as a democracy.
