Romney, Huntsman at odds over troops in Afghanistan

By Jeremy Herb - 11/22/11 10:38 PM ET

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman’s desire to draw down the troops from Afghanistan quicker than the current timetable drew a sharp exchange with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

After Huntsman said that the U.S. didn’t need 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, Romney said that he stood with commanders in the field who have laid out a timetable to withdraw 30,000 troops in 2012 and eventually hand over control to Afghans in 2014.
