Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) wants Obama to offer a clear redeployment plan for Afghanistan . Just as Gen. David Petraeus is preparing to testify before the U.S. Senate, Gillibrand is calling for Congress to pass Safe and Responsible Redeployment of United States Combat Forces from Afghanistan Act, a plan to withdrawal of U.S. combat forces beginning on July 1.
