Full Story at CNN.com

Washington (CNN) — Top Democrats and Republicans questioned Thursday whether President Obama is too narrowly focused on problems in Afghanistan at the expense of other national security priorities.

They also amped up a bipartisan chorus of concern over the ability of the administration to adhere to its goal of starting a U.S. troop withdrawal from that country in July of 2011.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signaled major reservations about the new Afghan strategy, noting she has asked the White House to send its entire national security team to brief members of Congress about the plan.
