Moscow Mitch beating the drums of war
During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, McConnell argued that the Afghanistan war had been a "complete success" and that the U.S. could safely maintain an indefinite military presence in the country with just 2,500 troops.
But Wallace pointed out that President Joe Biden's Pentagon advisers have said that at least 10,000 more troops would be required if the war continues.
McConnell did not explain why the Afghan government and military could not support itself after 20 years of U.S. help.
