LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. John McCain says "half measures" in devising the nation's military policy in Afghanistan will not get the job done.

McCain was speaking Wednesday morning at the University of Louisville as a guest of Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.

He says sufficient troop levels are needed to provide security for the Afghan people.

McCain is a leading advocate of bolstering U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan. He says "half measures" would be the "worst thing" that the U.S. can do in that war-torn country.
