President Obama gave an interview to Karen Leigh from KCNC-TV, a local CBS affiliate in Denver. He was asked about the recent tragedy in Afghanistan involving one of our troops going on a shooting rampage. In a long-winded response President Obama said, “Obviously what happened this weekend was absolutely tragic and heartbreaking, but when you look at what hundreds of thousands of our military personnel have, have achieved under enormous strain, you can’t help but be proud generally and I think it’s important for us to make sure we are not in Afghanistan longer than we need to be.”
