Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is calling for the formation of a House select committee on Afghanistan. Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach, has a special interest in the country going back to the mujahideen days, and traveled there in 1988 shortly before joining Congress. Today he says:
"President-elect Obama has made it clear that his administration plans to focus its energies and time on Afghanistan rather than Iraq and we should do our best to play a part in this new effort," said Rohrabacher. " If we are serious about it, we can reinforce President-elect Obama's commitment by forming a Select Committee bringing together Members of Congress who have a special interest in Afghanistan and various areas of expertise."
