Statement by Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) on the Resignation of General Stanley McChrystal

Statement

Date: June 23, 2010
Issues: National Security Defense Foreign Affairs

"General McChrystal should be commended for his service to our country and for advancing our efforts to eradicate terrorism. While the circumstances of his departure are unfortunate, and the timing critical, we must keep our focus on our mission in Afghanistan to defeat al Qaeda, the Taliban and other extremist terror networks that continue to plot against the United States. General Petraeus led the successful surge in Iraq and he is a wise choice to continue a similar strategy in Afghanistan today."
