Congressman John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, called for an end to the war in Afghanistan on the House of Representatives floor Wednesday.Garamendi is running for election in the new 3rd District, which includes most of Yolo County.Garamendi is a member of the House Armed Services Committee. Garamendi, along with a Republican congressman and a fellow Democratic representative, met with Lt. Col. Danny Davis who has questioned the direction of the Afghanistan war.”Col. Davis’ candid testimony reinforced my own conviction that there is no military solution to the conflict in Afghanistan, only the prospect of continued shedding of American blood in a war that is not ours to fight,” Garamendi said in a news release. “Only through a negotiated political settlement amongst the Afghan factions, not through an open-ended U.S. military presence, could Afghanistan become a stable, developing country.”He commended the Obama administration for its leadership in ending the Iraq war and ensuring the U.S. military commitment in Afghanistan is not open-ended.Garamendi supports troops coming home from Afghanistan by mid-2013 if not sooner. He told Congress it has the ability to decide when the war ends.
