Walter Jones, Dennis Kucinich, Lynn Woolsey and Ron Paul are sending a letter to President Obama, urging him to reconsider military escalation in Afghanistan. The letter argues that military escalation may well be counterproductive towards the goal of creating a stable government that can control Afghanistan, noting that a recent Carnegie Endowment study concluded that "the only meaningful way to halt the insurgency's momentum is to start withdrawing troops. The presence of foreign troops is the most important element driving the resurgence of the Taliban."
