Ex-admiral Says Pull Troops To Afghanistan

What do think of this idea?

WASHINGTON - After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, U.S. Adm. Joe Sestak commanded a carrier battle group in combat near Afghanistan, then in the Persian Gulf in the run-up to the Iraq war.

Now a freshman member of the House of Representatives, Sestak, a Pennsylvania Democrat, has introduced a bill calling for withdrawing all American forces from Iraq by the end of this year, while strengthening the U.S. military presence in the region and in Afghanistan.

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 02/20/2007 | Former admiral says all American forces should pull out by year's end


Could solve two probs with one action.

We definately need more troops in Afghanistan.
Pulling out all troops from Iraq though... it would completely destory all America's credibility for the next decade.
Of course, it might have to be done anyway.
