16 juin 2010<\/a> donne des pr\u00e9cisions sur cette \u00e9volution des d\u00e9mocrates.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abA schism deepened Wednesday between U.S. war leaders and Congress as lawmakers crucial Democrats among them challenged Pentagon assertions that progress is picking up in Afghanistan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb I wouldn’t call it eroding, Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan said of once-solid Democratic support for President Barack Obama’s war strategy. \u00ab\u00a0But there’s a lot of fair concern. Congressional hearings stepped up pressure on the Pentagon, with Defense Secretary Robert Gates complaining about negative perceptions taking root in Washington about the war. Another top military official acknowledged feeling angst about the conflict.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBut military leaders said the U.S. effort is advancing. I think that we are regaining the initiative, Gates told a skeptical Senate panel. I think that we are making headway.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe debate comes six months after Obama ordered 30,000 more Americans to the fight with the promise that troop withdrawals would begin in July 2011. That promise helped to placate Democrats who did not want an enduring troop commitment in Afghanistan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBut with the intervening months proving to be a long and deadly slog, and November elections approaching, it’s becoming questionable whether Democratic backing can hold. And lawmakers were reminded Wednesday that there is no deadline for completing a troop pullout, and that the pace of withdrawal will depend on circumstances at the time.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbNowhere were congressional concerns more evident than in Wednesday’s hearing by the Senate Appropriations Committee with Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbDemocratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington said she was frustrated by the number of deaths among the Army Stryker units from her home state, while Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., asked whether it was even possible for the Afghan government to gain control of the country’s disparate tribes. We’ve committed so many lives, so much money, here, and we’ve neglected so many things inside the borders of the United States, said Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
