Statement by Congressman McCaul, Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Intelligence subcommittee, on General McChrystal's report
09/21/09"Success in Afghanistan is at the root of winning the global War on Terror and is the key to America’s long-term national security. General McChrystal’s report makes it clear that it will take more resources to prevent al Qaeda and the Taliban from re-establishing safe havens and continuing to plot against the United States, and that failure to secure Afghanistan will result in the reconstitution of terrorist cells. I support the decisions made by the generals and the commanders on the ground and I urge the President to adopt this strategy."
