Kerry: too soon to send more troops to Afghanistan
 | It's always too soon for Senator Surrender. |
WASHINGTON -- With Afghanistan's election crisis deepening, Sen. John Kerry says it would be irresponsible for the U.S. to consider sending additional troops to the region at this time.
| What's irresponsible, Jahwn, is for us to leave our soldiers in the field without the means and support they need to do the job they were sent to do. |
In taped remarks, Kerry said it would be misguided to have a troop buildup to achieve a mission of "good governance" when the election is not yet finished.
| What would he know about 'good governance'? He's from Massachusetts for crying out loud ... |
Kerry, who unfortunately chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was in Kabul on Saturday.
Kerry spoke on CNN's "State of the Union," which airs Sunday.
In a separate interview to be broadcast Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation," Kerry said: I don't see how President Obama can make a decision about the committing of our additional forces or even the further fulfillment of our mission that's here today without an adequate government in place or knowledge about what that government's going to be."
