Kevin Cramer on War & Peace

Withdraw from Afghanistan, but no timetable

Q: Do you support United States' combat operations in Afghanistan?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you support a timetable for withdrawal from Afghanistan?

A: No. While I support the original commitment of troops in Afghanistan, it is time to withdraw within a time frame determined by military leaders and elected officials. This time line should not be telegraphed to the enemy or the world.
