Stephen Lynch supports President Obama's plan to finish the war in Afghanistan, secure peace, and bring our troops home as soon as possible. Under George W. Bush, America fought eight, one-year wars, with no strategy. Stephen Lynch believes that President Obama's strategy is the first real plan for success. Having been to Afghanistan five times, where he has met with Afghan political leaders and U.S. military leaders and soldiers, he has a keen understanding of the conditions on the ground and the risks of a premature withdrawal of troops.
