Small withdrawal of U.S troops from Afghanistan in July

(CNN) - A senior U.S. Congressman just back from Afghanistan painted an upbeat picture of military operations there, but predicted only a small number of U.S. forces will be withdrawn this summer.
"I don't expect we're going to see a big withdrawal of troops at that time," said Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

"We asked the question several times, receiving no answer other than any withdrawal will be based on conditions on the ground."
