I would like to read you two pairs of statements about American military involvement and have you tell me, for each pair, which one you agree with more....(Statement A:) Congressman A says after ten years in Afghanistan, it is time to bring our troops home. Osama bin Laden is dead and the Taliban is scattered, and the United States cannot be expected to be a permanent traffic cop in a country dominated by competing tribal interests. (Statement B:) Congressman B says there is still important work for our country to do in Afghanistan. We have sacrificed American money and lives in making sure the country is secure, and it is in our national interest to stay for as long as the Taliban and al Qaeda remain a threat, since the 9/11 (September 11, 2001 terrorist) attacks (on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon) were launched from Afghanistan....(If Statement A/B, ask:) Do you strongly agree with that statement or somewhat agree with that statement?
