His proposals include a new United Nations mission to rebuild Iraq, with a NATO security force under U.S. command to keep order. Mr. Kerry said in the weekly Democratic Party radio speech that President Bush's Iraq policies have "produced a tragedy of errors." The senator said the United States should not retreat from Iraq but must review its tactics, adding that "staying the course does not mean stubbornly holding to the wrong course." Senator Kerry said the proposed United Nations mission would organize elections, restore government services and help rebuilt the Iraqi economy. He said a NATO security force under U.S. command would help remove what he called "the 'Made In America' label from the Iraqi occupation." President Bush also has sought to put a more international face on the U.S.-led coalition. He has suggested a new U.N. resolution to help get other nations to take part. On Friday, he welcomed a U.N. proposal to dissolve the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council and install a caretaker government that would rule until elections in January of next year. Senator Kerry voted in 2002 to authorized the war in Iraq, but later became highly critical of the way the administration has conducted it.
U.S. Senator John Kerry, the likely Democratic Party presidential candidate, has made a new appeal for major changes in U.S. policies in Iraq.

Miss Kerry should read the Washington Times article about the Tet Offensive: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1119229/posts. Oh, wait. I'm sure he has read it. He knows exactly what he's doing. He has no shame and no care for our troops whatsoever.
"Please Mr. Terrorist don't attack us any more please. Okay?"
Although we can hope Americans are not as ignorant as they were during the Sixties and early Seventies, Americans must fight to prevent Kerry from turning Iraq into the Vietnam that he desperately wants it to be.
The media conveniently forgets to mention that GW Bush built a coalition of over 50 nations. The U.N. are exactly the people that we don't want in there. The U.N. would install another Ba'athist dictator like Saddam. Kerry is forgetting that the U.N. ducked out early on. What a maroon.
Sadly, I don't think for a minute that he's forgetting. I just pray the American people are more sophisticated in recognizing propaganda than he gives them credit for.
The siege of cities that harbor terrorist murderes is a good step in the right direction.
Letting Sadr live was a mistake,Saddam would have killed him on sight, which is why he was hiding out in Iran.
When Sadr is eliminated, and its made clear that the US is at least as prepared as Saddam was to maintain order,all of the encouragement from Democrats in the world isn't going to matter.
If I want to know what Kerry is saying, all I have to do is watch what President Bush does and says, and then imagine the opposite.
Then I know what Kerry is saying.
It's an effective strategy that's cut my reading and TV-viewing time in half.
Don't you get the feeling that Kerry, the dems, and the leftist press revel in the failure of our troops?
Yes, I question their patriotism.
Fact to fear: 35% of the population voted for Al Gore in 2000. The other 15% was composed of the dead. It's the dead that I'm worried about, but the fact that 1 out of 3 people that I meet are mindless is not comforting with respect to the 2004 campaign.
This time he's not sharing a doobie with Hanoi Jane?
He has a different 'We're the bad guys' speech writer?
This time he expects to testify to himself instead of a committee?
Sen. Kerry: 'Tell me, Senator Kerry. How many of those peaceful and law-abiding Iraqi terrorists worshippers of Allah have we beat with truncheons?'
Sen. Kerry: 'Well, Senator. Strange you should ask. Just this morning I read a report from Australia which quoted a French publication quoting a source from Germany who has a relative in Afghanistan who received a phone call from his brother in Iran who has a friend in Syria who just got a letter from his step-sister in Iraq who lives in a small town outside of Baghdad who was told by a suicide-harness salesman that his brother, a black-clad peaceful citizen, was pummelled by occupation forces just because he wouldn't lay down his gun poster of Allah.'
Sen. Kerry: 'How much credence do you give that report, Sen. Kerry?'
Sen. Kerry: 'Credence? Hey! If you can't trust an Iraqi salesman, who can you trust?
