Poll question: Releastically speaking, how much time will Kerry get to get us

out of Iraq? Since he takes the reins in January, 2005, what is a reasonable timeframe to:

(1) Get his cabinet in place.

(2) Convey his exit plan to the UN.

(3) Hand over military authority to the UN.

A corollary. If immediate withdrawal meant allowing a power vaccum and anarchy to take over and say, 50,000 people died, would that be OK?

3. YES

and if he doesn't start talking about it soon another candidate should be voted into office.

2. I would love to see us gone Jan. 21, 2005

But I'll give our new President six months before I really start complaining provided he really is extricating us and not searching for some way to "prevail".

4. that's my son's 3rd birthday

good choice. I suppose it's also day one of the Kerry administration, should the media and other corporate interests select him.

5. We won't leave anytime soon...

Bush got us in good. No one can get us completely out. The best that can be done is to multi-nationalize it.

Kerry will have the UN take over, but our troops will stay.

7. Kerry's "stay the course" is Iraqi version of Vietnam's "Peace with Honor"

We already lost this war! It will take a real statesman to admit that publicly and to extricate us out of Iraq with the same swiftness that Charles DeGaulle used to get France out of Algeria.

8. I was a liberal hawk a year ago March

And I've been a Kerry supporter from Jump Street, and I have the IEM contracts to prove it but .....

I'm the one who voted "One Day" because on January 20, 2005 at noon the war in Iraq metamophizes from "Bush's War" to "Kerry's War."

It ain't fair and it ain't right, but that's a nachul fack.

9. I said 9 months but

would love to see it happen sooner (like next week).

What the hell is the "mission" to be accomplished at this point anyway?
