Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) questions Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England on recent reports - raised by Senator Obama in the Austin presidential debate - about shortages in Afghanistan.
The exchange covered consistent comments from troops on the ground about shortages of troops and equipments, comments from Adm. William Fallon, commander of U.S. Central Command, characterizing the “neglect” of the War in Afghanistan, failure of the Bush Administration to persuade our NATO allies to commit troops to Afghanistan because of its ideological unwillingness to decouple it from the War in Iraq, and the overall diversion of resources to Iraq that has harmed America’s ability to wage war against those responsible for 9/11.
