Is Kerry's point that we would be stronger militarily if all our troops were sitting in barracks back in the US?

No. George Washington's.

The GOP should be very happy that Katsup Boy is going to be Bush's opponent. Kerry will lose in a landslide. Edwards, on the other hand is a hell of a speaker and could give Bush a run for the money in debate.

I agree. I was wondering today why the White House has not fired back at Kerry, but I believe they want him to win. Kerry will be easy to slam later, but Edwards is a smooth operator with a somewhat compelling rags to riches story.
