Lord how I loathe this seditious, traitorous opportunist...I'd give you a link to the text of his speech at Georgetown, but it so contemptibly politicizes the death of a U.S. Soldier that I won't even dignify its existence...
| Quote: | Kerry: Bring troops home over Christmas
Former presidential candidate calls for Iraq pullback
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. John Kerry says President Bush should bring home 20,000 troops from Iraq over the Christmas holidays if the December elections there are successful.
Defeated by Bush last year and a potential candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, Kerry called for a "reasonable time frame" for pulling back troops rather than a full-scale withdrawal advocated by some Democrats. He said it could be completed in 12 to 15 months.
"It will be hard for this administration, but it is essential to acknowledge that the insurgency will not be defeated unless our troop levels are drawn down, starting immediately after successful elections in December," Kerry said in a speech prepared for delivery Wednesday at Georgetown University. Excerpts of the speech were obtained by the Associated Press.
The presence of 159,000 U.S. troops in Iraq is deterring peace efforts, said Kerry, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Ol' Lurch still hasn't accepted that he lost. He is still a pompous self-serving arrogant elitist.

Well at least he finally mentioned something he's an expert on  -- deterring peace.

| The whole subject of bringing home these troops by Christmas has really taken off....sKerry to be interviewed by Hannity tonight on this? If true, here's to hoping Hannity gives him a swift kick and touches on at least some of what we know to be true about him. It's that feeling of deja vu all over again....if sKerry has his way, we will loose this war at home. God help our troops. |

Good old flip flopping sKerry. Seems his "courageous talk" flips with who is in the White House;
| Quote: | In my judgment, the Security Council should authorize a strong U.N.
military response that will materially damage, if not totally destroy,
as much as possible of the suspected infrastructure for developing and
manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, as well as key military
command and control nodes. Saddam Hussein should pay a grave price, in a currency that he understands and values, for his unacceptable
behavior.
This should not be a strike consisting only of a handful of cruise
missiles hitting isolated targets primarily of presumed symbolic value.
But how long this military action might continue and how it may
escalate should Saddam remain intransigent and how extensive would be
its reach are for the Security Council and our allies to know and for
Saddam Hussein ultimately to find out.
<snip>
Should the resolve of our allies wane to pursue this matter until an
acceptable inspection process has been reinstituted--which I hope will
not occur and which I am pleased to say at this moment does not seem to
have even begun--the United States must not lose its resolve to take
action.
The job of the administration in the next 24 hours and in the days to
follow is to effectively present the case that this is not just an
insidious challenge to U.N. authority. It is a threat to peace and to
long-term stability in the tinder-dry atmosphere of the Middle East,
and it is an unaffordable affront to international norms of decent and
acceptable national behavior.
In a more practical vein, Mr. President, I submit that the old adage
``pay now or pay later'' applies perfectly in this situation. If Saddam
Hussein is permitted to go about his effort to build weapons of mass
destruction and to avoid the accountability of the United Nations, we
will surely reap a confrontation of greater consequence in the future.
<snip>
As the world's only current superpower, we have the enormous
responsibility not to exhibit arrogance, not to take any unwitting or
unnecessary risks, and not to employ armed force casually. But at the
same time it is our responsibility not to shy away from those
confrontations that really matter in the long run. And this matters in
the long run.
While our actions should be thoughtfully and carefully determined and
structured, while we should always seek to use peaceful and diplomatic
means to resolve serious problems before resorting to force, and while
we should always seek to take significant international actions on a
multilateral rather than a unilateral basis whenever that is possible,
if in the final analysis we face what we truly believe to be a grave
threat to the well-being of our Nation or the entire world and it
cannot be removed peacefully, we must have the courage to do what we believe is right and wise.

Kerry wants to be on a river inside Iraq on X-mas eve this year, just like he was in 68 in Cambodia, or was it some where else? He did not know then and he does not have a clue now or ever. Kerry is a person who does not want to be a person who can respond to aggression or have a clue how to be a person of Honor.

Let's face it, Terry. You can't be a person with honor unless you first have honor, something sKerry is sorely lacking.
He was on Hannity & Colmes tonight, an interview with Colmes. He is still campaigning and saying virtually everything done so far with the war is a mistake. Of course, he doesn't really say what his ideas are that would be better, just that he would have handled it better. |

I will repeat what Me1you10 had to say about Kerry because
it matches my feelings exactly:
¨Lord how I loathe this seditious, traitorous opportunist...¨

Al-Sistani said to weigh pullout demand
HAMZA HENDAWI
Associated Press
NAJAF, Iraq - Iraq's top Shiite cleric is considering demanding a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. and foreign troops after a democratically elected government takes office next year, according to associates of the Iranian-born cleric.
If the Americans and their coalition partners do not comply, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani would use peaceful means such as mass street protests to step up pressure for a pullout schedule, according to two associates of the cleric.
