Gen. David Petraeus acknowledged Tuesday that U.S.-led military operations in Afghanistan's Marjah district are not going as well "as the most optimistic (initial) predictions." U.S. forces are making progress, he said, but it has been slower and harder than anticipated.
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, cited the pace of operations in Marjah as one of the reasons for his opposition to the July 2011 date set to begin withdrawal of U.S. troops. Sen. James Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, also blasted the date, telling Petraeus he thinks the Taliban "has the perception (that the United States will) cut and run."
