Sen. John McCain says he is concerned that the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan may not be a team player and could stir trouble as the military enacts President Obama's plan to send 30,000 more U.S. troops to the country over six months.
The 2008 Republican presidential candidate suggested Wednesday that leaked cables from Ambassador Karl Eikenberry that expressed reservations about a troop increase could speak to deeper problems and tension at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. Eikenberry is a retired general who twice served President Bush in Afghanistan."
