My bet is that if elected, he's out of Iraq in 6 months to a year, leaving a civil war and a mess behind. I'm thinking my speculation the other day about Kerry and his most ardent supporters being a bunch of '60s love children pining for their Vietnam war protesting youths was right on. Kerry is doing everything he can to ensure failure of Bush's efforts to make Iraq into a haven of democracy in the ME. He's doing so by 1) undermining support at home while simultaneously claiming to be motivated by concern for "our boys over there"; 2) undermining support from our allies by telling them they will be attacked for supporting us; 3) latching on to the incidents at abu Ghraib (sp?) to portray our troops as committing atrocities on orders from all the way up the chain of command; and 4) encouraging the enemy by promising to pull out ASAP. Pretty much the act that made him famous three decades ago. We even have the wounded soldier being attacked by some left-wing nut at a concert for wearing a t-shirt expressing support for our troops. All that's left is to march on Washington under the banners of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden after making a special trip to negotiate our capitulation.
