The Washington Post<\/a> reports that John Kerry is satisfied to maintain the status quo in Afghanistan. Kerry is perfectly happy to let the Taliban and al Qaeda run around the country raising Hell and lowering Afghans’ trust in the US commitment to their security;<\/p>\n

“We do not yet have the critical guarantees of governance and development capacity” in Afghanistan, said Kerry (D-Mass.), who just returned from a trip there. “I also have serious concerns about the ability to produce effective Afghan forces to partner with, so we can ensure that when our troops make heroic sacrifices, the benefits to the Afghans are clear and sustainable.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So until we get these nebulous “critical guarentees of governance and development capacity”, the folks we have deployed there can just suck eggs.<\/p>\n

Kerry said he came away from his conversations with McChrystal in Afghanistan convinced “that he understands the necessity of conducting a smart counterinsurgency in a limited geographic area. But I believe his current plan reaches too far, too fast.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, Kerry is drawing on his vast experience as a Navy lieutenant with three months in Vietnam who personally chased down an unarmed teenage Vietnamese boy and shot him in the back, much like he’s shooting our troops in the back now. <\/p>\n

But Kerry claims that more bureaucrats in Afghanistan are more important than more troops;<\/p>\n

The senator also said that the U.S. civilian presence in Afghanistan is “disgraceful compared to what it ought to be.” He said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton understood the urgency of dispatching civilians to help improve governance and provide services. “They’re trying to find people as fast as they can,” he said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, who is going to secure the area so those civilians can ply their trade? How many US civilian employees are going to die for John Kerry’s latest lies?<\/p>\n

Kerry also took time out to take some shots at the Bush Administration, according to the Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

He said former Vice President Dick Cheney has no grounds on which to criticize the president after eight years of failed policy in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

“This from a man who in 2002 told Americans, ‘The Taliban regime is out of business,'” said Mr. Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat and chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. “This is one time I wish he was right.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another botched joke? The Taliban is out of business – they don’t run a country anymore. Of course, John Kerry can rectify that like we did in 1988.<\/p>\n

It’s almost funny (if it wasn’t so tragic) that the Democrats claim that we can’t afford to maintain the status quo with our health care system, but it’s perfectly OK to do so in Afghanistan. It’s no wonder the troops think we don’t give a shit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
