That is what he said in today's Philadelphia, Inquirer regarding Iraq. However, I'd like to hear about some ways, we gonna get out of this....since he is aware of the travesty.

Bush has killed about 10,000 in the last year. He has replaced the Saddam Hussein Regime!

3. Bush killed 10,000 civilians and 25,000(?) Iraqi military
The US has 27,000 Iraqis in detention - most without charges.

Please give the Chimp the full credit he's due....

2. Kerry's plan
Kerry has stated he will bring in the U.N. and leave a small U.S. contingent as part of a true multinational force in Iraq.

He also has stated the U.S. got the Iraqi people into this mess and will continue whatever steps are necessary to bring them out of it, financially and politically.

5. Kerry is campaigning
While I fully support Kerry and cant wait for Bush to be in the unemployment line, Kerry si campaigning. Comparing Iraq to Vietnam is a ploy to stir up emotions. We never had an exit strategy for Vietnam. We now have an exit plan for Iraq. By July 1 the Iraqis will be running their own government, the first step toward us getting out of there. Which is great because we shouldnt have been there in the first place.
