Former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday said he support President Barack Obama's plan to send an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.
"I decided several weeks ago I would support whatever he decided," Clinton said to a standing ovation at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's yearly Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Manchester. The appearance marked the first time Clinton returns to the state since attending several rallies two days before the 2008 general election.
Clinton praised Obama for carefully studying options and strategy for Afghanistan, despite criticism he was moving too slowly.
The former president noted that many things have altered since he first became president, but one thing that has remained the same is the Republicans' criticism of Democratic policies. He urged the audience to fight false statements about the recent health care proposal before Congress and efforts to fight global warming by talking to friends and neighbors about Obama's policies.
