Sen. Barack Obama greets Command Sgt. Maj. Arthur Coleman, in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Sunday.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Sunday as part of his week-long foreign tour.
Following their meeting, Obama told CBS News, “There’s starting to be a growing consensus that it’s time for us to withdraw some of our combat troops out of Iraq, deploy them here in Afghanistan, and I think we have to seize that opportunity. Now is the time for us to do it. I think the situation is getting urgent enough that we have got to start doing something now.”
Earlier Sunday, Obama also met and praised U.S. troops over breakfast at a heavily fortified base in the capital, Kabul.
