McConnell Optimistic About Afghanistan

Senator Mitch McConnell said Monday he's optimistic about Afghanistan and favors a residual U.S. force after combat troops leave in 2014 of about 10,000. McConnell, who traveled with Republican Senators John Barrasso of Wyoming, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Ted Cruz of Texas and Deb Fischer of Nebraska, says, after meetings with military leaders, including General John Allen, he left the country with a genuine sense of optimism.
