The senior senator from President Barack Obama's home state isn't convinced that the plan to send more troops to Afghanistan will result in success. Sen. Dick Durbin told Fox News' Chris Wallace that he wanted to talk to the president about withdrawal plans before committing to vote to support the additional troops.

"I'm skeptical as to whether 30,000 more troops will make a difference," said Durbin.

"I will meet with the president, I'm sure, and have conversations about that deadline which appears to be interpreted different ways by different people," he said. "I would like to believe by July 2011 we will be in a position where we're going to see our troops really coming home."
