| U.S. Democrats urge Bush to shift anti-terror focus |
| 2008-04-07 |
| (Xinhua) -- U.S. Senate Democrats sent a letter Sunday to President George W. Bush urging him to shift anti-terror efforts from Iraq to Afghanistan and Pakistan. In the letter, Harry Reid, the majority leader, and other Democratic senators, said the White House has committed too much of U.S. resources to Iraq while neglecting "terror-havens" of Afghanistan and Pakistan. "While violence and the drug trade have surged in Afghanistan and Pakistan's security remains fragile, we are distracted by an endless civil war in Iraq," the letter said. "To make America more secure, we must refocus on hunting down a resurgent al-Qaida, securing a troubled Afghanistan and rebuilding our overburdened and misused military," it added. |
