Obama on Afghanistan: “Situation is precarious and urgent”

Crooks and Liars:

Barack Obama sat down with CBS’ Lara Logan Sunday morning for a long interview about his meeting with President Karzai and his vision for American foreign policy. Calling the security situation in Afghanistan “precarious and urgent,” the presumptive Democratic nominee stressed that that country is the real “central front in the war on terror,” and it’s about time we started treating it as such.

“The Afghan government needs to do more. But we have to understand that the situation is precarious and urgent here in Afghanistan. And I believe this has to be our central focus, the central front, on our battle against terrorism.”
