Woolsey, 61 Colleagues Urge Obama Not to Delay Redeployment of Troops from Afghanistan | November 19, 2010 | |
| WASHINGTON—Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., and 61 House colleagues of both parties expressed their opposition Friday to reports that the full redeployment of troops from Afghanistan will be delayed until 2014.
“Mr. President, such an extension of U.S. troops in Afghanistan is contrary to American public opinion and to the future of America, “ wrote Woolsey in a letter to President Obama, cosigned by 57 Democrats and 4 Republicans. “We believe that this Congress will not support efforts to extend our military operations in Afghanistan into 2014 and we call on you to reaffirm your commitment to begin a safe and rapid redeployment beginning in July 2011.”
