Hey, I'm all ears. Let me know when Senator Kerry mentions his actual foreign policy. I do think it's telling that he thinks it's a good idea to run without a foreign policy.

There is always someone willing to espouse anything. Some people advocated nuking Mecca after 9/11- I would never have thought that would be advocated by anyone.

"Apparently, given the amount of play it gets here on the Straw Man Thread." Could you cite a few excellent examples of straw man POV's that led you to believe that this is "the Straw Man Thread"? There must be quite a few given your mean spirited renaming of this thread. As for the allegation that "cut & run" is a straw man, that is pretty much what Dean & Kerry have been all about. Both of them adamantly opposed the war & immediately demanded to know Bush's "exit strategy" when Baghdad fell. Both of them were adamantly opposed to the $87 Billion needed to support our troops. rebuild Iraq & bring about democracy. Neither of them offered any alternative plan that I know of other than to get out. Both of them have railed against almost everything Bush has done in Iraq, which is currently all about keeping a presence there while securing the country from the terrorist insurgents, rebuilding the infrastructure & allowing them to hold free, democratic elections. What other message have we heard from Dean or Kerry other than to cut & run? And I'm not interested in your personal spin & nuance of the situation. Tell me what either of those two have said, in their own words, that clearly indicates that cut & run is not their policy. <font size=4> ....Dean pledged, "I'm going to pick somebody with defense and foreign policy experience. ... The fact is, it's a resumé problem.".... <font size=3> tnr.com
