Clinton presents S. Korea as lesson for Afghan policy

WASHINGTON (Yonhap) -- Aiming to convince senators of the viability of the Barack Obama administration's Afghanistan policy, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday cited South Korea as a successful "investment" case.

"You look at the decades of our investment in South Korea," she said, facing a barrage of questions in a meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee aimed at clarifying Washington's policy and progress in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
