Kerry: Obama would be "irresponsible" to send more troops to Afghanistan now Posted: October 17th, 2009 03:09 PM ET
From CNN Associate Political Producer Emily Sherman
Sen. Kerry cautioned President Obama against raising troop levels in Afghanistan until after the Afghan election is finalized in the country.
WASHINGTON (CNN)– Sen. John Kerry cautioned President Obama Saturday against raising troop levels in Afghanistan, saying it would be "entirely irresponsible" to do so while the Afghan government remains in turmoil following national elections.
"It would be entirely irresponsible for the president of the United States to commit more troops to this country, when we don't even have an election finished and know who the president is and what kind of government we're working in, with," Kerry told CNN's John King in an interview set to air Sunday at 9 a.m. on State of The Union.

is this the same gentleman who went to Vietnam by the way? if so, stfu kerry!!!
Yeah because we only have the dramatic success of The Surge in Iraq as recent history to prove his advice sound, right?
With morons like these in office, who needs idiots?
Kerry's judgment is warped.
Lurch should stick to having the commonwealth move fire hydrants for his suv to park.
Once again, traitor John ‘F’in Kerry (rumored to have served in Viet Nam) stabs the Troops in the back and works to kill them off.
Scary how close he came to being president.
This was predictable. Kerry just can’t resist making trouble—for Obama as well as for our country. The reason why Obama is stalling on this issue and voting “present” is that he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.
If he doesn’t, he loses the war. And if he does, he gets all the fruitbats furious with him. Easier to stall and do nothing.
Yep, and don't forget Cambodia. This guy has been just about everywhere, that's why he's so up on foreign policy.
I think Kerry’s still p*ssed that Obambi didn’t name him Sec of State.
Freaking Loser.
This coming from a scumbag who helped lose the Viet Nam War.
Col. Bui Tin approved this message.
Who cares?
Abandoning our troops once again.
The betrayals never end with this traitor.
Kerry needs to go away. America must finish Afghanistan Taliban period. What the hell is wrong with Massachusetts? Don’t they understand the Gov teat will kill them? I’ll bank on the SE and SW long before the NE.
sit down horse face and be quiet
Is there anything Obama IS responsible about?
