Cantor's criteria

Allison Brophy Champion talks to Minority Whip Eric Cantor about the expected surge in Afghanistan.

Cantor said the president’s decision, in order for Republicans to support it, would have to include:

1) a counter insurgency and counter terrorism element, 2) recognition of the Taliban’s as an American adversary on the level of Al-Qaeda and 3) recognition of Pakistan as “an increasing threat and something that will have to be dealt with.”
