Kerry says Iraq strategy is failing
UPI ^ | Fri 9/7/2007

U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said a new report on Iraqi Security Forces shows the Bush administration's Iraq policy is failing.

"If anyone still needs evidence that the Bush policy in Iraq isn’t working, this new report from our nation’s military experts is a clear-eyed assessment of its failure," Kerry said. "We are spending endless amounts of money on an army that is unwilling or unable to stand up for Iraq, while the president sends more Americans into the middle of a civil war we can not end."

Kerry said he will continue to push for a plan for Iraq that sets a clear deadline for redeploying the troops and redefines the U.S. mission.

John F*ckin' says its a failure. No one remembers that three years ago, he advocated MORE troops being sent to Iraq. He said he had A PLAN. Hah!

It must really suck to be a Democrat-American.

Yeah... he's an expert on defaming the troops and securing the fastest route to defeat... when he's not on vacation in Cambodia!

The traitor John Kerry should be arrested, tried and hung by the neck until dead. He is literally pis...... on the soldiers who have given and are risking their lives so he can rant. He, and all those like him who are rooting for US defeat, are pathetic intellectually challenged socialist miscreants.

Is he negotiating terms of surrender with the Iranians and Al Queda just like he did in Paris in 1970 with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong?

Before Kerry is allowed to make any statement about our military and its record, he should be forced to open his record of military service. People should be “still” demanding this as a US Senator.

"Drawing on my vast combat experience and knowledge of military affairs (and of course my three PH's) it is my expert opinion that our strategy in Iraq is failing........"

“. . .an army (Iraqi) that is unwilling or unable to stand up for Iraq. . .” —John Kerry

Between June and August 2007 there were 505 members of the Iraqi Security Forces killed. I don’t have the figure on missing, kidnapped or wounded.

John Kerry, who fled Vietnam after 30 days of training and 90 days in a combat zone, wouldn’t make a pimple on any of these Iraqi’s backside.

A lot of Iraqi soldiers and police have been killed defending their country from terrorists. Kerry smears them just as he smears the American troops. For someone who received minor injuries in a war zone, it takes a lot of nerve to call others cowards.

Kerry and the rest of his cohorts in the ‘Rat party are determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq.
These defeatist scum are clueless in the extreme.

Did warrior John say this before that or was it the other way around. He served in Nam, don’t chew know. I think the War College uses his syllabus in their teachings.

Hey Kerry! I have a great idea! Let's leave them in Iraq like you all did in vietnam! And if anyone says a thing about it, you can THREATEN them again. Just like last time!

Sen. John Kerry, the committee chairman, told one of the investigators that if the report ever leaked out, "you'll wish you'd never been born."
