WASHINGTON (CNN) – The chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee responded Sunday to recent criticism from former White House hopeful Sen. John McCain, the ranking Republican on the committee.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, has lately suggested that the proper course for the United States to pursue in Afghanistan is to beef up the country’s own army and police forces before planning on sending in any additional American troops.

This is what happens when political buffoons pretend that they are generals and experts at fighting wars.

We probably don’t have a good enough grasp on the situation to keep from inadvertently “beefing up” the wrong team.

McCain has as much sense as anybody from the services in fighting wars, assuming he WANTS to fight them.

“Afghanistan is to beef up the country’s own army and police forces”
You mean that they have one right. Which they don’t, its tribal war there and like the russians we need to go, form a defensive wall and let them eat sand and drugs.
We need to go. No visas to america, keep it alone like a meth lab.

You are right. Let us be charitable and say that Levin has no knowledge as to how his proposed strategy of “beefing up” their army has worked in the past. Profound ignorance abounds.

We couldn't have picked a more inept person to chair the Armed Services Committee then this jackass Carl Levin. He thinks if he slides his glasses farther down his nose it makes him look smarter. What an idiot.

They can’t even read!
Another Carl Lenin-ism!
