1:24Now PlayingSenator Mitch McConnell spoke before the Rotary Club in Paducah, Kentucky Wednesday and voiced his opposition to withdrawing troops from Afghanistan.
"I think it was a mistake to leave Afghanistan," the Senate Minority Leaders said.
McConnell told the crowd that U.S. troops were sent to Afghanistan to "try and decapitate the Taliban from running the country and providing a haven for terrorists to come attack us here."
McConnell went on to say he thinks the mission has been a success because we haven't had a terrorist attack on a large scale in the last 20 years.
