Why send more troops if success is impossible? In any event it is an immoral and unjust war.

Iraq has to be looked at in the broader context of global instability and insecurity. First off, Kerry has to link Iraq to the overall global situation and cannot be considered in isolation. Once he succeeds in painting that picture, then he has to tell the people that since it is a global problem, it has to be solved by the committee of global nations. He has to tell folks that the "go it alone" has failed. If Bush tells him he has a coalition in place, Kerry needs to counter that the size of the coalition needs to be broadened and that Bush is incapable of broadening that all by himself. <font color=red>He needs to point to the fact the Britain already has teamed up with Germany and France in dealing with the Iranian threat

If Kerry inherits Bush's mess in Iraq then he will immediately do three things: - Call in a global summit conference and call for every country in the world to join in. Telling them the Bush neocons are out and it's a brand new day. That will work. - Crash strongholds of any terrorists but then offer carrots. - Possibly divide up the country with buffer zones a la Kosovo. Iraq never should have been a country in the first place. It is really three countries the Brits forced together. Only a strongman like Saddam could keep them together. It will be tough but Bush can't do it, only Kerry can.
