Kerry's policy for Afghanistan?

Bubkes.

I just watched John Edwards on Meet the Press. When asked about Afghanistan, Edwards mouthed "don't hem me in" B.S. He never mentioned massively increasing aid (as Bush promised and never delivered). Nor does Kerry's "plan" for Afghanistan. And asked about whether a Kerry administration would even consider adding U.S. troops, Edwards punted. He insisted NATO troops could do the job. That may be good politics, earth to Kerry: NATO doesn't want to put more troops in. And I'm guessing that saying "you guys can do it alone!" won't exactly convince them otherwise.

This fits with a pattern: Kerry seems to be lacking the vision or just guts to call for hard choices in the world. More on this later. And yes, I'm applying for provisional membership.

Agreed, but according to the Poorman's typology [http://www.thepoorman.net/archives/003258.html] I think you'd be better off in the Douche Bag camp, which is slightly less extreme.
