Former Democratic Congressman Charlie Wilson: Consider pullout

The man responsible for funding the freedom fighters during Afghanistan's decade long war with the Soviet Union is deeply skeptical about the U.S. military's current prospects there.

Former Democratic Congressman Charlie Wilson, said in a recent interview with The Times-Tribune that if he were in President Barack Obama's shoes, he would likely advocate "a calculated withdrawal" of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, rather than an escalation. Mr. Wilson is set to speak Thursday at 7 p.m. at Scranton Cultural Center.
