"I believe the President has thoughtfully explored the various options, gathered diverse view points from his political, national security and military advisors as well as our international allies and arrived at a sound decision. His deliberative process is a refreshing departure from his predecessor’s shoot from the hip, secretive approach to making difficult decisions that impact our men and women in uniform, their families and our nation.
I support the President’s proposal to increase our troops in Afghanistan to defeat Al-Qaeda and their terrorist supporters. I believe we have to defeat the Al-Qaeda terrorists responsible for the attacks on 9/11 who are still present in the region and remain a threat to our national security. I believe the President clearly defined the mission, how he intends to accomplish that mission and equally important a reasonable time frame for when we can expect to bring the war in Afghanistan to a close.
With Fort Campbell and Fort Knox and thousands of Kentuckians serving in uniform, I believe we must do everything we can to make sure they have the resources necessary to complete their mission as safely and quickly as possible.”
