The future course we take in Iraq would indeed be helped along substantially by a change in Washington.

Geezus GST!!! Do you REALLY believe that a change in administration will suddenly make all of the problem issues go away?

How is Kerry supposed to solve the situation in Iraq? What will he do that's different?

Not much, I'd wager... He'll gripe and moan, and should he be elected, he'll likely continue the very same course of action..

Just like Bush initially did when he inherited Clinton's policy towards Iraq.

Who inherited Bush Sr. policy towards Iraq...

I mean, my god.. You've yet to show me exactly how you'd do things differently... It doesn't matter what administration is in power in the White House.. Each president faced similar problems, as well as possessing the same limitations on their actions..

It doesn't matter which administration is in power in 2005. What matters is what policy alternatives they are going to propose to solve the alleged mistakes of their predecessors..

And that's something YOU STILL HAVEN'T BOTHERED TO ADDRESS (and neither has Kerry).

Better the enemy we know, than..............
If GWB reads this thread, he is well aware that the public wants fewer American casualties, help from other countries in stabilizing Iraq, and as small a footprint there as feasible.
And if only to save his political hide, he will be trying to do those beneficial things. He may even lie, if absolutely necessary, to get them done. (g)
Now with Kerry, we know nothing. He has shifted positions so often he seems to have worn out 3 mattresses, and perhaps a few interns. He fought in a war, and then he fought against the same war .We dont know who he will select as a VP. It could be Al Sharpton, it could be Ted Kenneday, it could even be Hillary
What are his post-election plans- In detail, with how many participants, and on what schedule, and with how many expected casualties within the Administration and Congress?
