Curious....who do you think would be the most effective in fixing this Iraq mess?

[Roxy66]

Which Dem candidate would be most effective? I think the Iraqi people need inspiration.

[mikelgb]

1. Dennis Kucinich

[sabra]

2. John Kerry in 2004 :-(

[babylonsister]

4. Amen. I'll take him in 2008 to 'try' to fix it. nt

[undeterred]

17. John Kerry any old time.

[sakabatou]

3. I don't know

There really is no good way to fix this mess.

[Az]

5. There is no Democratic Candidate appropriate

It is an Iraqi problem specific to their culture. Anyone not of their culture will be seen as an interloper. Someone attepting to control them or undermine them. As you can imagine they might be a tad suspicious.

[KittyWampus]

6. Clark of course

[dkofos]

7. Anyone with the BALLS to say

"Time to get the fuck out"

[bdamomma]

23. yes

:applause:

[endarkenment]

8. define "fix this Iraq mess". nt.

[Roxy66]

15. Does it need clarification? It's a catastrophe....period

[endarkenment]

30. Yes sure it does. Dumbass thinks he's 'fixing this mess'.

I don't think that a 'fix' is possible. I don't even think a fix is ethical. We have no right to do anything other than take our troops and get out. That will not 'fix' Iraq, it will end our illegal occupation of that country.

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. Wes Clark. NO ONE has more experience in Foreign affairs, but he hasn't announced a decision yet.

Of those running, Obama or Kucinich.

[bigtree]

10. John Kerry

hands down

[Roxy66]

11. I think Obama has the cleanest record...he spoke against it before

we when in there.

[seabeyond]

12. kerry/clark n/t

[eagler]

13. second that

nt

[wakeme2008]

14. Gore/Clark

:)

[Der Blaue Engel]

16. John Kerry n/t

[demnan]

18. I would have to say Bill Richardson

You can't discount the efforts he made in Darfur.

[seabeyond]

28. i listened to him. it was good. i liked him. i am going to have issue with him

until he tells me why,.... when he knew the votes were fucked up in 2004, when he knew the machines were corrupt ... why he rushed the ok on the votes and cleaning out the machines. i cannot let that one go....

[madokie]

19. Gore and any number of the others

[sweetheart]

20. Al Gore

He's the most mature, wisest of the lot of them as far as i'm concerned.

The others, however much i like their politics, do not move me as persons.

Al Gore leads from the front, and i'm with such a man all the way.

[bdamomma]

21. Kucinich and Murtha

[Iwasthere]

22. Just get out...

Get off their soil and quit meddling. We can't get the lives or the billions back, but we can stop further death. And we need to stay off their land (getting off oil dependancy would go a long way toward this). That is why Osama struck us in the first place on 9/11. He warned us many times to stay off their land. We need smart leaders that understand diplomacy. We don't need to offending countries right and left causing global nuclear escalation and possible annialation. Any of the democrats have better ideas than the idiot does. He has failed at absolutely every biz he has tried. Was amazed at the interview the other day where he said something like, I hate to seem defensive but I have had successes, Saddam is gone... "For Gods sake!" This idiot can't come up with anything he has done right other than Saddam (which can certainly be argued isn't a success; the Iraqi people would absolutely like to have Iraq back the way it was right now)?

[blm]

24. The 3 potential candidates capable of doing the right thing immediately- Gore, Kerry, Clark

Everyone else will be in a position of playing serious catch up on global AND military issues that are immensely complex.

[applegrove]

25. Peace negotiations with Sunnis, Shites and Khurds. Where they

decide who to forgive and all. As someone pointed out the other day Northern Ireland and South Africa didn't get to peace without Amnesty.

[mzmolly]

26. Gore, or Clark.

?

[FourScore]

27. General Clark n/t

[Kerry fan]

29. John Kerry and/or Wes Clark.

Hands down. IMO, none in the field, including Gore, could hold a candle to the intelligence and knowledge of either of these two.

[goodhue]

31. Dennis Kucinich
