Senator John Kerry (D-MA) is on record as saying he favors a limited role for our military in Afghanistan. During his presidential campaign, videos surfaced that showed Mr. Kerry denouncing the way the war in Vietnam was administered. Presidents Johnson and Nixon conducted a limited war and we know the results of that war and the tremendous number of American lives that were lost. Evidently Mr. Kerry has forgotten how our military was hampered by the political whims of Washington D.C.. President Obama faces a major decision concerning the way this war will be fought. The military leaders in Afghanistan are asking for an additional 40,000 troops. President Obama must commit these 40,000 or more if needed if he is confident of victory. If the President has any doubts about our ability to achieve victory he must remove all American troops from the theater of battle. To leave American troops in Afghanistan and not provide them the resources to achieve victory would be an unconscionable and immoral act that would result in the unnecessary loss of the finest of Americans. Come on Mr. President. Commit the necessary troops or pull all of them out of Afghanistan and bring them home.
