Kerry: Reduce U.S. Force in Iraq by 100,000 by End of Next Year
December 8th, 2005

New York Newsday is reporting an AP piece about John Kerry’s speech today in New York at the Council on Foreign Relations. Here’s a few quips:

The United States needs to reduce its forces in Iraq by “at least 100,000″ by the end of 2006, sending a message to the Middle East that Americans are not interested in maintaining a permanent military presence in that country, Sen. John Kerry said Thursday.

In a speech before the Council on Foreign Relations, the former Democratic presidential contender said the goal should be to have a force of 30,000 to 40,000 in Iraq by the end of next year.

I will NEVER vote for Kerry again until he promises to wave a magic
wand and stop all wars for the rest of human history.

Noahmijo NEVER votes for the unpure!!

:sarcasm:

for once.. :) because Bush is going to pull out a bunch of troops before the next election to give the illusion it is winding down so as to help the Repubs in their reelection bids. If he does pull out the troops, and it is likely he will have to, Kerry can say he's glad that Bush and the Repubs finally came around to his plan...

Now why didn't he say this last year?

The consensus was not there last year, it is now. I could reference back to plenty of things he's said in the past 2 years leading up to this.

well thought out plans I've heard about resolving the "middle east" problem. Not just from kerry, but from anyone.

John Kerry, you are GOD Sir...........
