"Kerry favors fewer troops in Afghanistan war; Once a backer of troop surge, he steps back" by Bryan Bender, Globe Staff / February 6, 2011
WASHINGTON — Kerry insists that Afghanistan and Vietnam are very different conflicts. In his view the United States now has real interests at stake, particularly in neighboring Pakistan, a nuclear-armed nation where the leaders of Al Qaeda who perpetrated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks are believed to be planning more attacks.
Please see: Kerry's Crap
More crap out his mouth:
"“I think that in the next days, the government of Afghanistan’s response to anticorruption efforts are a key test of its ability to regain the confidence of the.... American people [who] are prepared to support with hard-earned tax dollars and with most importantly, with the treasure of our country — the lives of young American men and women.... and say, ‘Hey, that’s something worth dying for.’ ’’
I don't think so!!!

He just did.
“Some people try to make it [Vietnam] and some people want it to be the same exercise,’’ Kerry said. “But it just isn’t. Unlike Vietnam, where there was no threat to the United States, and no real strategic interest — it was trumped up — here there is a real one.’’
What a fraud this guy turned out to be.
**************
Congress must soon decide whether a large-scale US military operation should be sustained for at least three more years, as the Obama administration plans....
Since the US-led invasion to topple the Taliban in 2001, US troop deaths have reached nearly 1,500, with thousands more wounded. The cost of the conflict has exceeded $400 billion. Polls now show that the American public is growing increasingly wary, with at least half saying they believe the United States should withdraw.
I don't know who the agenda-pushing, manipulating media is polling. Even the people who do not care (like my football-loving friends) don't know WhyTF we are there (oil pipelines and drug profits I tell 'em).
We are not wary, we hate the thing -- and all the lying bastards that brought it to us and keep it going.
Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, the ranking Republican on the panel, told the Globe he thinks a looming question is whether the United States is willing to accept powerful regional warlords if the central government cannot fill the void.
So much for DEMOCRACY, huh?
For Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, the big question is “whether this war is worth the cost.’’
The answer: NO!!
Not unless you are a WAR-PROFITEER or MONEY-LAUNDERING BANK
