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.

The Ketchup Gigolo would certainly know irresponsible, but, being true to form is absolutely wrong. ZerO is already derelict on the subject, another term the Fraud should be familiar with.

Speaking from Afghanistan, Kerry ... said the U.S. should listen to the advice of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in that country.

Is John Kerry smokin something? He is supporting McChrystal!
