Oregon’s U.S. Senators are reacting to President Obama's plans in Afghanistan. Senator Jeff Merkley feels the draw down should be larger. He feels many of our goals in Afghanistan have been accomplished and that our focus now is nation building. Merkley wants to invest in nation building here at home. And Senator Ron Wyden says he's happy the President is shifting from a counterinsurgency strategy to a counterterrorism strategy. Wyden says this will allow the U.S. to cut troop levels by two thirds and save tens of billions of dollars a year.
