In the wake of bin Laden’s death, the world has witnessed a tidal wave of momentum to end the war in Afghanistan.
In the midst of this historic moment, the bi-partisan team of Rep. McGovern and Rep. Jones have unveiled new legislation, reviving with new vigor, in a new Congress the cause they have long championed: an exit strategy from Afghanistan.
