And yet, Kerry is going out this week, after saying that he would reduce troops in Iraq, now saying that Iraq is more dangerous than ever. How does he intend on removing troops from Iraq without more greatly endangering the troops that are still there. Remember, that France and Germany have already said they will not come to Kerry's aid to replemish troops, and his constant alienation of our allies might end up making them uncommit their troops to the war effort, which would mean we would actually need MORE troops down there longer. Also, remember that Bush has training of the Iraqies moving along well, which is the best way to take care of security down there. The answer is, Kerry does not have a better plan. His only answer in the debate was bringing more allies into it, and we have all seen how good he is at doing that.
Face it, if you look at Kerry's voting record in the Senate, he has been on the wrong side of almost every national security issue that has come up. That is the best indicator of where he will stand on Iraq. My gut tells me that he will do what is takes to RETREAT and be defeated there because he is so strongly against war. It is fairly obvious comparing his speeches to his voting that he is willing to say anything to get the votes he needs.
