Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) stressed on Sunday that he would oppose requests for additional troops in Afghanistan even if military commanders on the ground requested the help. Speaking on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS," the Massachusetts Democrat complimented the president for his strategy and commitment to the Afghan war. He would not speak with specificity about how he envisioned a military withdrawal from that country, only saying he didn't expect the United States to "pull the rug out" once the military began transitioning out of that theater in July 2011. |
