WTMJ: Wisconsin congressmen respond to President's Afghanistan plans
Many of Wisconsin's congressional delegation have given their response to President Barack Obama's plans for troop drawdowns in Afghanistan.
"The Afghan people are like folks everywhere," said Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson.
"They want peace. They want freedom. At some point, they have to fight for it, and I am very encouraged that so many are willing to do so."
"We've been in Afghanistan for longer than any war in our history," explained Democratic Senator Herb Kohl "Our troops have made outstanding progress. It's time to bring our people home and rebuild our country."
"The President's announcement puts in doubt whether the commanders on the ground will have the forces they need to accomplish America's long-standing goals in Afghanistan," explained Janesville Republican Congressman Paul Ryan.
