I'm posting reaction from Minnesota's congressional delegation, etc. on President Obama's decision to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan (watch the speech 

).  I'm not sure who will provide statements, etc.  (For what it's worth, 

 what the members of the delegation said about Aghanistan in October.)

As a 25-year veteran of the Marine Corps, I remain committed to ensuring our troops have the equipment, resources, and support they need to do their jobs in the most effective manner possible. Our goal in Afghanistan remains the same - a stable country that denies the Taliban and al-Qaeda a safe haven from which to launch attacks against Afghanistan, Pakistan, or the U.S. and its allies.
