Double standard for two please. Make mine to go.
You don't get it both ways....even though that is the dimacraptic way. [img]i/expressions/anim_roller.gif[/img]

Well you obviously got me..Comparing war mistakes to memos.. Dying GIs to possibly forged papers.. Now before you go off I think the documents are forged also but to compare reasons for going to war to partisan journalism does not make any sense.. I don't like Bush or any of his cronies.. whether he completed his guard duty or not..

I'm curious. From all that you've posted on this board, I take it that you plan to vote for John Kerry. So what do you think John Kerry will do to handle the war in Iraq more effectively than President Bush?

He can internationalize the force currently is occuppying Iraq. He can increase the number of troops in Iraq. His admistration will mend alliances that Bush destroyed. Whether you like France, Germany or Russia that fact remains that they have military strength which we will need at some point. Bush said it himself that we cannot win this fight (war on terror) alone. Kerry will also admit that Bush made a mistake and that we are going to learn from it and move on. he will rally the world behind us again something Bush will never be able to do.

Thanks for answering the question rather than engaging in rhetoric like Mrs. Howard Dean.
Doc answered these points pretty well, but I'll add my two cents:
1. What makes you think that Kerry can succeed at "internationalizing" the force to a greater extent than Bush has? Is John Kerry going to be able to convince any country to reverse their stance on the war in Iraq such that they will be willing to send troops? I personally doubt it. If you disagree, I'd be curious to hear which countries you think will respond to Kerry's appeal for them to send troops.
2. Increase the number of troops in Iraq? Kerry just ripped Bush for planning a "backdoor draft" the day after the election. I'm pretty sure that means he's against increasing the number of troops in Iraq.
3. What makes you think the alliances with France, Germany, and Russia need mending? They are still our allies, and they darn sure look to us when they need help. I don't see any reason to expect that to change. As for them helping us in Iraq, see No. 1 above.
