The Speech the President Should Give By JOHN F. KERRY
Boston
TONIGHT President Bush will discuss the situation in Iraq. It's long past time to get it right in Iraq. The Bush administration is courting disaster with its current course - a course with no realistic strategy for reducing the risks to our soldiers and increasing the odds for success.
The reality is that the Bush administration's choices have made Iraq into what it wasn't before the war - a breeding ground for jihadists. Today there are 16,000 to 20,000 jihadists and the number is growing. The administration has put itself - and, tragically, our troops, who pay the price every day - in a box of its own making. Getting out of this box won't be easy, but we owe it to our soldiers to make our best effort.
Our mission in Iraq is harder because the administration ignored the advice of others, went in largely alone, underestimated the likelihood and power of the insurgency, sent in too few troops to secure the country, destroyed the Iraqi army through de-Baathification, failed to secure ammunition dumps, refused to recognize the urgency of training Iraqi security forces and did no postwar planning. A little humility would go a long way - coupled with a strategy to succeed.

exit polls kerry next president
oh wait a minute
stfu jr senator
This coming from that pillar of truth; John Effen sKerry.
**************
Sadly.
Wait...didn't this Kerry guy play the judge in the movie "My Cousin Vinny"?
"I'm scum. I'm firing all my appointments and resigning! God forgive me! People, forgive me for mentioning God! All hail the New York Times! Subscribe today!" That would be perfect for the NYT.
It should read, "John F. Kerry is a traitor, enemy sympathizer, and a coward who has no business commenting on military matters.
BARF ALERT!!!!
Speech President Should Give...by RockinRight...
My Fellow Americans...
...We have officially issued a shoot-to-kill order on all fence-jumpers
...All insurgents will be shot in the testicles no questions asked
We've nuked Beijing, Pyongyang, Shanghai, Tehran, and Palestine-should no longer have problems with these guys...
Didn't he go to Viet Nam?
He was one of the greatest assets that the Vietnamese Communist Party ever had.
How does he know this? Did he poll the Iraqis? What is he doing, going around asking "Are you a jihadist?"

I refuse. Reading something Kerry wrote is bad enough. I will not increase the hit counter of that anti-america, leftist site at the same time.
The best way to "reduce the risks to our soldiers" is to bring them home, but that wouldn't achieve our actual goals. Our actual strategic goals are to defeat the terrorists and Sunni dead-end insurgents, and to help stablize the nation so a new democratic government and society can be sustained, so that democracy and freedom can take root in the Middle East, thereby changing the entire equation there which has resulted in the rise of Islamist extremism. And Bush needs to hammer this home.
Duhhhhhhhhhh.....
Another lie by the New York anti-American pro terrorist Times.
Durka Durka Muhammad Jihad!
The kind folks at the NYTimes sent me a letter in the mail today asking me to subscribe to their newspaper. Any response suggestions?
