Kerry is a weak indecisive politician. The fact that most of his supporters on this thread oppose Kerry's expressed Iraq policy, but think he can be "forced" into adopting a cut and run policy they want is the most dramatic proof possible of that.

Let's elaborate on that. Do you, geode, support Kerry's policy of staying in Iraq till a stable gov't is established even if that takes four years?

Bush overthrew two governments that sheltered and gave aid and safe haven for terrorists which have attacked the US. I don't believe any American who wants his country defended from terrorism can fault him for that.

Re Afghan heroin, warlords - big deal - its been going on for 5000 years - thats a whole other problem. Terror is our priority. Demanding perfection is the left's tactical argument for doing nothing to defend the country.

Karzai is the recognized leader of Afghanistan - by every country in the world including the UN. And we are being supported in Afghanistan by NATO and the UN.

Re Iraq - it has to overcome the damage done by 30 years of totalitarian rule. That creates problems - similar to those faced by the former USSR and Yugoslavia. Another example of leftists demanding perfection with no problems as an excuse for doing nothing to defend the country.

ZERO support from our traditional allies Where do you get that - Britain is a traditional ally. Historically European nations have been either enemies or neutral.

THE COMING DRAFT Uh, the Democrat party favors a draft. Not the Republican.

Re "competent warfare", there is no such thing, only victorious warfare. The D-Day invasion, for example, would be considered a drastic failure by your standards, filled with intelligence failures and operational fiascoes from the planning and training stages right up the victory, which is all that counted.
