(RTTNews) - Following the announcement that Afghanistan has called off its planned run-off election, Republican House Leader John Boehner issued a statement Monday in which he said the Obama administration has "no more excuses" to delay sending additional troops to Afghanistan. "Now that it is clear that President (Hamid) Karzai will remain in office, the White House has no further pretext for delaying the decision on giving General McChrystal the resources he needs to achieve our goals in Afghanistan," Boehner said in his statement. He added, "General McChrystal has been clear: without timely reinforcements our efforts to deny al Qaeda and the Taliban a safe haven in Afghanistan may well end in failure." President Barack Obama has been mulling sending an additional 40,000 (or more) U.S. troops to Afghanistan, but he has suggested he may wait for Afghanistan's run-off election to make his final decision.  |
