Senator McCaskill has just visited Afghanistan and Pakistan as part of a Congressional Delegation trip. McCaskill headed to the Middle East to visit Missouri troops, focus on oversight of government contracting, and discuss national security.

She says she’s hopeful about the new offensive in Afghanistan. A big difference, she says, is the sense of internationalism.
McCaskill says she caught up with Missouri troops working on bringing equipment from Iraq to Kuwait, where it’s sorted, inventoried and either sent on to Afghanistan for use there or returned to the U.S.
She adds that there was almost no contracting oversight by the Department of Defense in the rebuilding effort in Iraq.
