WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kerry says President Barack Obama should wait until after the new Afghanistan presidential election is conducted before making his decision for the war.
Kerry met with Obama at the White House Wednesday, just hours after returning from Afghanistan, where he played a crucial role in persuading President Hamid Karzai to accept a run-off vote after a fraud-plagued election. The new vote is set for Nov. 7.
The Massachusetts Democrat told it wouldn't make "common sense" for Obama to determine whether more U.S. troops should go to Afghanistan without knowing the election results. He said, "You really want to know that this has worked and you want to know what's coming out of it."
