Kerry to Troops Stuck in Iraq

[BeFree]

Here is what Kerry ought to say:

If I were your president, you wouldn't be stuck in Iraq today.

1. That would have been simple..eloquent and somewhat poetic.

[Placebo]

2. You don't know that.

Kerry never talked the way he is now about setting a timetable for withdrawal in 2004. For all we know we'd still be in Iraq if Kerry were president. Maybe it would have a more international face and we'd be losing fewer troops, but Kerry gave no concrete indication he was against the war in '04.

3. Oh, yes I do

They are stuck in Iraq with no future and no plan. Bush has even said it: the troops will not leave as long as he is president.

Were Kerry the president, they wouldn't be 'stuck' they'd have a planned way out, and a future to look forward too.

4. Yes he certainly did

He said in 2003 he'd never have gone into that war. I know you know that so why do you keep repeating the bullshit that he wasn't against the war? He also talked about pulling troops out because having our troops alone were causing the impression of occupation and fueling the insurgency. He specifically laid out a plan to pull out troops in 2005, and in 2005 he laid out a plan for beginning to bring home troops at Christmas. It really hurt the campaign that those on the left didn't help clarify the distinct difference and joined the media in painting them both as stay the course which they weren't in any way shape or form.
