Good news! Some members of Congress are starting to question the president's war strategy in Afghanistan. A few senators, including Carl Levin (MI), chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, have given speeches opposing administration attempts to send more U.S. troops into that conflict.

Already this year, 21,000 additional U.S. troops are headed for Afghanistan. Some voices in the military are calling for even more. Next Thursday, September 24, President Obama will send Congress a report on U.S. strategy in Afghanistan that will reveal whether the administration will ask for more troops this year.
