Robin Carnahan on War & Peace

No date for Afghan withdrawal, but no open-ended commitment

The two sides agreed on at least one thing: there should not at this time be a firm deadline for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

"The president made a huge mistake when he announced a date for withdrawal," Blunt said. "The world is a dangerous place."

Carnahan said that while there shouldn't be a date for withdrawal, there also should not be an open-ended commitment for troops.

Stand up to Iran and North Korea

Stand up to hostile regimes: The continued aggression and nuclear ambitions of regimes like Iran and North Korea must not be permitted. Robin believes all options should be on the table and supports strengthening economic sanctions and working closely with our allies to exert increasing pressure--diplomatically, economically, and politically--on these regimes to abandon their illicit nuclear programs and become legitimate members of the international community.
