The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator John Kerry (D-Mass) labeled General Stanley McChrystal’s proposal to send 40,000 additional U.S. combat troops to Afghanistan “ill-considered.”
“This kind of blind blustering and saber-rattling might have sold in the Bush era, but it’s a new day under Democratic leadership,” Kerry boasted. “A more cautious and deliberate approach must guide us.”
In support of his position, the Senator cited a resolution passed unanimously by the Berkeley City Council calling for “an end to the United States’ barbarous ravaging of Afghanistan with cowardly remote attacks.” “At least the so-called jihadis have the good taste to blow themselves to bits when launching their suicide missions against American troops,” said Councilmember Max Anderson. “Their willingness to give their own lives offsets the collateral damage they inflict on innocent bystanders.”
Kerry recommended that rather than meet General McChrystal’s request, “we, instead, send a smaller number of troops a shorter distance.” “An expeditionary force of 10,000 US troops to Honduras to back the reinstatement of President Zelaya would be more in keeping with the new direction and attitude President Obama is trying to implement for American foreign policy,” Kerry contended.

I have grown to hate these satire posts almost entirely.
But you nearly got me with this one... and that made me laugh.
Kerry wants to turn the boat around, and get to hell out of there, leaving enough troops around to cover his stinking arse.
His bold leadership in THREE MONTHS of viet nam service- where he was KICKED OUT as being UNFIT FOR COMMAND
(after shooting a teenager in the back, and running like a coward froma gunfight dumping one of his men into the water)
All this leads me to beileve kerry should STFU
“Are you still in Vietnam, John?”
“Total Idiot” and Total Traitor!
Clarification> I meant John F. Kerry not John who posted this.
“McChrystal wants too much, too fast” said John, Generally-speaking...
Dithering Dems Doing Diddly Dooming the Dedicated to Die
These are the same a$$holes that held multiple committee meetings to blather about the lack of armor for humvees in Iraq.
Benedict Arnold Kerry is giving military advice to an Army General.
Just pathetic.
Didn’t Kerry say the same thing about the Iraq Surge requests?
