Officials make case for troop surge in Afghanistan, but lawmakers remain skeptical

On Capitol Hill today, General Stanley McChrystal, the chief architect for the expanded war in Afghanistan gave more details of his plan to members of Congress. Sitting along side him was Ambassador to Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, the diplomat wary of a troop increase. Both said ‘success’ was possible but not imminent. They testified as Defense Secretary Robert Gates was in Afghanistan. FSRN’s Leigh Ann Caldwell reports.
