'Winning the Peace' With John Kerry?

What the hell is this supposed to mean?

Hmmm, that sounds almost like..................a mistake John Kerry made and never admitted or apologized for. But oh well, only a few million died.
I'm sure it will work much better if he gets the chance to win the peace in Iraq.

NOT!

That is something that I just wish Dubbya would lambast Kerry about. He's always saying it and it's flat out wrong. You don't win the peace! You win the war and peace comes later on. Gemminee... everyone has their own version of peace. Saddam has one, OBL has another, Kerry has one and Bush has a better one. Peace will never come until the war is won. Kerry tosses his plan around like just because he has one it will work and work flawlessly. Seems he forgets that the otherside has a plan, or 18 too. Oh I forgot.. his plan is to let the UN handle everything so he doesn't have to, leaving our guys out to dry.

And while I'm on a roll..... These fruitcakes we are fighting can be analagous to a pack of wolves. There is always an alpha male, and as long as he shows he's the boss all is relatively stable within the pack. But the moment he shows a weakness, the other junior males will try to take over. We went into Afghan and kicked a** and look at the relative peace, they had elections today, women voting for the first time ever! Sure it's not all lala land, but neither is the US or any other country. And then look at what we did in Iraq. We went in, totally overran the whole place like it was a deck of cards. All was fine and good for a bit, till we pussyfooted around bowing to the anti-war, pc crowd and that brought in the junior wolves in full regalia. I read a post somewhere here about what we should do everytime there is a beheading or mass bomb, etc.... take out a mosque I believe was the main result. I concur completely. These folks/leaders/countries have a history that goes back thousands of years, the only thing they respect is force.

I'll get off my soapbox. I think I stopped making any sense. (grin)

I think we should 'win the war' and 'work like hell' for the peace !

I also think Shocked

we should find that guy behind the beheadings (can't remember his name- Zaqarwi? ) and behead him and put that on the internet !!!!!! for all of his followers to view!

There is no way to "win the peace," until you have "won the war!" Abandoning it again isn't winning any peace, it's nothing more than a cowardly retreat that could end up making the entire middle east even more unstable than it is now.

They also keep saying Bush had no "exit strategy." Seems to me he has a good one, "VICTORY!" Win the war and then bring our people home.
