Pelosi: President's Comprehensive Strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan is Right Plan to Protect Americans
WASHINGTON, March 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement in support of President Obama's new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan:
"I support President Obama's comprehensive strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan. The President's plan is the result of a detailed study and is wisely centered on dismantling al Qaeda and denying safe havens in both Afghanistan and Pakistan to those who would attack the United States. This strategy recognizes a point that I have emphasized for years, and one that I shared with the President following my visit last month to Afghanistan, which is that we must have a regional approach to countering terrorism.
"By aiding Pakistan in their efforts to defeat terrorists, investing in and training Afghan Security Forces and their Army, creating conditions to marginalize insurgents and foster democracy, and cooperating with our allies to achieve these goals, we can strengthen our global counterterrorism efforts and prevent another catastrophic attack, such as the horrific one Osama bin Laden launched on September 11th.
"The President's strategic and comprehensive approach is the right plan to stabilize Afghanistan and to protect the American people."
