Kerry will not cut and run from Iraq, that's true.

I wouldn't count on that.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Kerry will just turn it over to the U.N. and they'll cut and run.

[Verginius Rufus]

Even Kerry doesn't know if he would cut and run...he keeps changing his mind so often, that who knows what he would do.

Even if Kerry were firmly committed to seeing the Iraq situation through to victory, his position would be like George McClellan's as the Democratic candidate in 1864. McClellan was personally in favor of winning the war, but large elements in his party were for peace (on terms allowing the South to remain independent). Lincoln was convinced that if McClellan won, the war would be lost.

The other resemblance between the two is that McClellan was intensely contemptuous of his commander-in-chief and let everyone know it.

No, Kerry would not cut and run from Iraq, he would never do anything that overt or decisive. What he and his Secretary of State (Ramsey Clark?) would do is find some way to slink out of the problem in the middle of the night, deserting and sabotaging our allies in the process. He would also arrange it so that he could blame his designated blamees for it - anybody but himself.
