"What's Kerry's plan for Iraq?"
"Tell me what he's going to inherit in Iraq in January, and I'll tell you what his plan is."- Joe Biden on Charlie Rose.

Great answer.

1. Perfect
I'm tired of this drive to shift BUSH'S fuck-up over to Kerry and attempt to pigeon-hole him into having to defend what he has every right to just say "hey fuck you don't try to pass your mess onto me, I got a plan but I don't have to argue it with you just yet"

It's a like a little brat smashing every wine bottle you got onto your kitchen floor then folding his arms and scowling at you as he says "so what's your plan to clean this up??? hmmm?/ HMMMMM?????"

2. This worries me
It could take years to fully extricate ourselves from Iraq, and that must not be blamed on John Kerry (if he wins). Things are complicated. The world is a complicated place, and he is not likely to be able to just bring the troops home lock, stock and barrell right away. People need to understand that this will always be George W. Bush's war even if Kerry assumes office in January.

4. But Kerry voted for this war...
anything less than full withdrawl is unacceptable.

5. And George Bush executed it...another Bush family war
another disaster. Iraq is in greater chaos than before we entered and the fact is, the US will withdraw and it will leave a mess. They don't want us and we can't make it right.

8. Unfortunately...
I think you are right only because, ultimately, a full withdrawal is our only option without the U.N. and the rest of the world replacing us there. It is the second worst possible option, the worst being staying, but it may be the only choice we have left when all is said and done.

10. Getting rid of Bush will solve half our Iraq problems right away.
But it'll get hard from there--wish we could take the House too!
