John McCain (web|news|bio) says the troop increase strategies used in Iraq (web|news) should also be applied to Afghanistan, and that he knows more than Barack Obama (web|news|bio) about "how to win wars."McCain has told a town hall crowd in Albuquerque, N.M., that the U.S. military effort in Iraq is working. He argues a similar approach - more troops, more counterinsurgency programs, and more coherent military organization would arrest the growing violence in Afghanistan.
The Republican nominee-to-be charges his Democratic opponent, Obama, is offering misguided military plans for the region before he's even set foot in the country.
McCain says more U.S. troops should be sent to Afghanistan, particularly the southern part of the country where the Taliban is strongest.
