Obama, in Afghanistan, says US will succeed

President Barack Obama says U.S. troops in Afghanistan are making progress, achieving their objective, and will succeed in their mission.

The president made his comments during an unannounced visit Friday to Afghanistan.

Speaking to troops at Bagram Air Field, the president said he didn't need to tell them it was a tough fight and difficult days are ahead. Progress comes at a high price, Obama said, but success will come.
