Just to keep you up to date, as of this week-end, John Kerry is against the War in Iraq. Meanwhile, he is still telling some gems (via Tom Maquire):
Asked his timetable for pulling troops out of Iraq, Mr. Kerry told a few hundred people in Canonsburg, Pa.: “My goal would be to get them home in my first term. And I believe that can be done.” He said he would make it clear that “we do not have long-term designs to maintain bases and troops in Iraq.”
Mr. Kerry has said he could replace most, but not all, American troops with foreign forces within four years by offering new inducements to other countries.
Three questions:
1.) What inducements.
2.) What countries?
3.) What troops?

In his first term?
His hubris knows no bounds.

So he wants to cut and run and leave it all in the hands of France? The UN? A coalition of muslim nations? (shudder, that last one would be a true death knell to Iraq)
Unfit for command.

Didn’t someone just say that he’d have time to flip-flop on the war at least 5 or 6 more times before the election?
I think he’s going for a record..

“We do not have long-term designs to maintain bases and troops in Iraq.”
So, we’re going to completely give up a base of operations that is close to the geographic center of the Middle East, borders Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, and is a stone’s throw from Afghanistan and Sudan?
Great thinking, John. Your military experience really paid off.

France, Germany, North Korea and Iran, elated by getting their American leaders of choice, will probably be supplying the troops.

It appears to me that he is trying to build a coerced and fraudulent coalition of the bribed.
But that’s just me.

There is one thing about Kerry that is totally consistent: the bull-shit never ends. First was his creation of ten-million new jobs and now this. He’s a freekin’ magician, or as my grand-dad used to say: he talks all day and doesn’t say a word.
