Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) told John King on CNN’s State Of The Union this morning that she doesn’t see how Afghanistan will become a democracy.
I do not believe we can build a democratic state in Afghanistan. I believe it will remain [a] tribal entity.
The Democratic Senator also said the current mission in Afghanistan isn’t clear, and that Congress must be given a clearer idea of US objectives and time lines in Afghanistan.
This all comes in the wake of rising opposition among Democratic lawmakers to sending more US troops to Afghanistan. On Friday, Sen. Carl Levin gave a floor speech urging President Obama not to send more troops to Afghanistan.
