Lindsey Graham Says Obama 'Just Made Up A Number'

"just made up a number" on Afghan troop levels, and says more forces are needed to stabilize the country.

Graham told radio host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" airing on 970 New York on Sunday that Obama made the right move by keeping troops on the ground in Afghanistan, but caved to political pressure by agreeing to cut the force in half by 2016.

"Here's the one thing, this is typical Obama: 9,800 is what we have, and that's what we need," Graham said. "And he said, 'Well, OK, I'm gonna leave 'em there, but by the end of 2016, we're going to 5,500' - he just made up a number. He cut the base in half, so to speak."

"Typical Obama: doing the right thing, but then withdrawing at the end 'cause you're worried about politics," he added.

Graham said that the president generally has no clue what he's doing when it comes to foreign policy.
