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.

"Ladies and Gentlemen and my fellow Americans.
The following people can kiss my _ss...."
Maybe their numbers would not be growing if it weren't for the fact that the Dems and the media are on the side of the jihadists. The long list of false stories about the Koran in the toilet which keep being repeated over and over is not helping, nor is the Dems' comparison of American troops to Nazis, Stalinists, and the Kmer Rouge.
No. He was on the Adams Family.
"So what should the president say tonight?"
The tribunals of certain politicians for treason begin in 5 minutes.
Even if Johnny's numbers are right...20,000 isn't that much. Considering it is only...about 8% of Iraq's population. I mean look at America we have almost 50% of our country as Insurgent DemoRats.
Rakka bakka mohamed jihad?
Dear NYTimes,
Commit suicide and reincarnate yourselves as a conservative magazine. THEN I'll subscribe to you.
Howzat?
Tell them, "As soon as I run out of Charmin..."
John Kerry can't find the time to show up for work once in a while, but he can find the time to waste on time writing such completely pointless and self-serving claptrap as this.
He`s doing exactly what he always does and did.. when he testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and when he was campaigning. He would shoot off these stats, shoot off these statements and nobody would know where he got them from. Why? Because he just makes them up! And nobody ever calls him on it.
Tell them to take their f*&king litter box liner and stuff it where the sun don't shine.
I much prefer to think of it as a Roach Motel, than a breeding ground.
The useful idiots in the press talk about how we are "In a quagmire, and losing the peace.
Moslem Jihadis believe them and flock to Iraq from all over the world.
Iraqi and US troops then remove them from the gene pool.
lol!! Only acting will win the war against terror! Gary, get in there and do your best! Act your way past those guards!
I agree wholeheartedly.
I was thinking something under the line of 'You liberal filth' myself... maybe I'll give them a phone call at their toll free number. Here it is for all you people: 1-800-257-3832. (257 is an Ithaca NY phone number... interesting...)
We got a notice too, which...er...a...ended up in the recycle bin unopened! I had much more important things to do than respond to their notice like watch the cat nap! I am sure some fellow freepers will help with a noteworthy reply!!
Liberals think the job of the government is to make the lives of the military as safe as possible. Ergo, never put them in harms way.
Conservatives think the job of the government is to make the lives of the American public as safe as possible. If the job of the military can be made safer, all the better.
Nah - the Slimes couldn't bring themselves to praise Bush even if he did resign. All they'd say is, "What took you so long"?
Well, you see, as school is out, I have some extra time on my hands. I decided I might as well have some fun, so... a letter to the NYTimes sounds like a blast.
