Labrador: Declare Victory, Get Out

Even before foreign policy heavyweights like Sen. Richard Lugar suggested accelerating U.S. withdrawal on Tuesday, Idaho’s freshman 1st District Raul Labrador said the death of Osama bin Laden should hasten America’s exit. “I do think this is a great time to declare victory in Afghanistan and to look for a way to get out of there,” Labrador told the Idaho Statesman on Monday. We are supposed to start withdrawing this fall, but hopefully we can do it even sooner than that. I think we had accomplished our mission even before (bin Laden’s death). We had done certain things to slow down the growth of al-Qaeda, to stop what they were doing”/ Dan Popkey , Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Do you care what happens to Afghanistan (if we followed Congressman Labrador’s advice and declared victory and left)?
