Gen. Stanley McChrystal's proposal to send 40,000 additional U.S. combat troops to Afghanistan "goes too far, too fast," Sen. John Kerry warned Monday.
The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said that three conditions must be met before the Obama administration decides to deploy more troops to the region: assurance that the Afghan forces are reliable enough to partner with U.S. troops, assistance from the country's local leaders, and the cooperation and support of the Afghan people.

What a putz, riding the fence again as usual. We were so lucky he never got elected President...
Nice to know that a geeky frat boy has input into our national security..
These people are crazy this is the same nonsense they pull when they aren’t in power, now they will mess up their own war. And we don’t have a party that can say forthrightly how nuts the liberals are?
Kerry should know better than the general in charge (sarc)
Kerry joins the Obamessiah out in la la land down the rabbit hole with Alice!
Expecting leadership and strength from these two is like asking a square of jello to hold up the Empire State Building.
Kerry is a real expert at winning wars. For the enemy.
Gradualism and rules of engagement that eliminate any real offensive action doom a counter insurgency.
Add to that the semi-privleged sanctuary of Pakistan and Iran and it is a real loosing formula.
They want us to loose gradually in Afghanistan and then blame the GOP Pres that replaces Zero.
I'm sure he's advised McChrystal on the deployment of swift boats to Afghanistan.
Kerry is truly a moron.
This worthless SOB (Kerry) either can’t be botherd reading the General’s 4 page summary of his 66 page recommendation, or wants to pretend that the comprehensive recommendation is something else.
Kerry would like us to believe that the General spent 66 pages saying “give me 40,000 more trooops”.
THAT is a lie and Kerry knows it.
Kerry should know better than the general in charge (sarc)
Well, I say it’s a toss-up, since the “general in charge (sarc)” also wrote the kinder/gentler ROE’s and strategy that are for the most part escaping the scathing scrutiny they warrant.....
George Wallace, Orval Faubus, and Gerald Ford, all considered losers by many would make magnificent leaders when conpared to these jerks.
Thank you MASS! Please try to get rid of this deadwood that is causing rot in the fabric of the nation.

You know he went to Viet-Nam?
When, if *ever*, has that Lurch impersonator John “Richard Cory” Kerry, *ever* been right about *anything*?
He’s not “riding the fence”, he’s deliberately stalling and giving Obama cover. The names of every soldier who dies during this treasonous waiting period should be put on billboards all over the country.
Our hardened war vet speaks.
Wonky eye reporting for duty.
Lurch and anything to do with the military is a disaster and always has been.
With guys like Kerry on our team, who needs to send in spies to destroy us. For that matter, you can now say the same thing about Newt and the Republican party leadership. It goes without saying that the same could be said about the Democrats. We’ve known that for decades.
And the people from Mass will keep right on electing these clowns again and again. Kerry, Frank, Markey, et. al. If Teddy shows up on the ballot again, I bet he’d get re-elected too.
