John Kerry has finally revealed his secret plan for ending U.S. involvement in Iraq, telling National Public Radio in an interview broadcast Friday morning that he'll cut and run within one year.
I wonder if CNN will run this news story. I can't believe anybody in their right mind would support this plan.
Maybe it is just a "head fake" to get peoples mind off the fact that kerry lied about being a war hero?

Thus delighting the French and our enemies (or should I say the French and our other enemies).
Lets all sing...
KUM BY YA
Kum by ya my Lord, kum by ya
Kum by ya my Lord, kum by ya
Kum by ya my Lord, kum by ya
Oh, Lord kum by ya.
Someone’s crying Lord, kum by ya
Someone’s praying Lord, kum by ya
“ singing “
“ laughing “
Come by here my Lord, come by here.
Kerry can rely on the supposed 'watchdog' press protecting him from whatever disasters he causes while in office, as it did for Clinton.
In other news, he's also going to balance the budget without raising taxes, while at the same time guaranteeing universal medical insurance and Social Security without raising the retirement age (that was established in the 1930's).
It's a winner for Kerry. Bush doesn't have a deadline. Kerry gives one no matter how facile and pandering.
Ah. So al Sadr and his Mafia will know how long they'll have to hang on - not to mention all of the assorted other cockroaches. Good job, Jacques...
Yep cut n run just like Kerry & fellow travelers had us do in RVN.....
With similar results...
And all of our people and their familes would have fought and or suffered in vain....
Kerry = Scumbag
imo
that's not possible. iraq will erupt again, another dictator will emerge, and then all of those young men and women will have died for nothing.
11 years of nose-thumbing to the peace agreement isn't exactly rushing to war. Kerry called for the outsting of Saddam 6 years ago. Hardly rushing to war. Now to solve it, Kerry decides we should rush the peace. Just close our eyes and hope in a year Iraq will be stable and secure.
I remember when Clinton promised we'd be out of Bosnia in a year -- and we're still there a decade later.
I assume Kerry's promises have about as much reliability as Clinton's.
I guess it all depends on the what the meaning of "year" is -- liberals have funny definitions that they don't share with the rest of us.
Oh, my heavens! What a hoot!
The only way to be out in a year...is by retreating and giving up. The confidence by his troops will dry up within four weeks. He will be a loser like Bill...and nothing can make that up.
I do agree that we need to pull out at earliest convience...but it won't be next year or 2005 or 2006. We may be down to half the number of troops by 2006...but thats the best we can hope for.
besides, has horse face forgotten that a military presence (trying not to call it a "military base" for obvious reasons) in the middle east is kind of a good idea, all things considered?
"Promise her anything, but give her Arpegge". (Hope you followed that. It's a stretch.)
This is actually great news. The public wants a President who has the guts to get the job done, not one who will arbitrarily pull out. This will please the left-wing radicals, but will not appeal to the swing votes. Go Kerry Go!
In a real interview he may have been asked, to explain why he thinks we still have a presence in Germany and Japan.
Well a "year" on the planet Jupiter lasts about 5 earth years...and considering Kerry is probably from there, you have your answer.
He's just lying.
Well, he's on record yet again. He provides many, MANY presents for the Bush campaign. This is big. This is going to be great for the campaign. He's demonstrating why the terrorists would be cheering in the streets on November 3 if Bush loses to this nutjob. And the scary thing is that the polls show him leading many and at least half of the idiots in this country willing to vote for him.
He cut and ran from Vietnam in 4 months ... can he wait a year before cutting and running from Iraq?
No way can this guy be POTUS!
It would've been smarter for him to promise he'd get us out of Haiti in a year.
Not to mention the insurgents.
Yes it is if one doesn't care about the consequences. He would withdraw, declare a success, invite the French, Germans, Russians to take over contracts, etc; come up with some eyewash about a bright future and then kick back as the media stopped reporting on Iraq like they have about the disaster in Serbia - Clinton's great success.
Of course, there would be the inevitable followon terrorists attacks, but Kerry would ask the UN to protect us.
And just last week he was saying he'd have them out "by the end of his first term."
Right. How could I forget about those guys?
LOL!
Hey! Cut the man some slack. After all, one year is 8 months longer than he spent on his Vietnam tour. Besides, this time he won't even have to fake wounds in order to pack it in. He can just order it done. As Clinton's Paul Begala said, "Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool!"
Why another one ..when they have a perfectly good one just waiting till Hanoi John puts him back in power
"I believe that within a year from now we can significantly reduce American forces in Iraq," Kerry told NPR's Steve Inskeep."

We HAVE to learn to check Newsmax articles just like we do everything else.
See above.
It's not what the headline says.
What about someone in their left mind?
and the headline wasn't really what kerry said, although if you just wait a few minutes, he'll probably say something else, and if you wait long enough, he'll say whatever you thought he said in the first place.
That's one ugly broad!
You're right. In the heat of this thing they are starting to act a little like the MSM.
I agree. Newsmax is full of crap and totally unreliable in my book. I'd never quote something coming from Newsmax.
And besides, Clinton said we'd only be in Kosovo for one year. It's now been what? Close to 7. Timelines like these are bogus.
And .. the day after General Tommy Franks has been all over the TV saying we will probably have to be there for 4-5 years.
If you gauge 4 mos military experience against a lifetime of service, this statement by Kerry only makes him look more stupid.
The thing is, as we are forced to excerpt more and more news articles, there is a tendency to use Newsmax.
We need to be vigilant about them, especially since they post stuff WE wish were true; it's easy to watch for the signs though. Just yesterday, they posted something about "snotty remarks" that Kerry said.
IMO, a real news source doesn't use words like that.
Don't get me wrong; I'm willing to tell everybody I know that's what Kerry said.......LOL.
I just like for US to be honest.
Yeah...with Kerry as President, the troops will HAVE TO BE OUT OF IRAQ.....because we'll be battling the terrorists HERE ON US Land!!!!
honesty!!?!? you realize that this puts us at an extreme disadvantage don't you? [heavy sarc]
That I do; that's why I'm always in such a bad mood.
I'd rather be US than THEM though.
Of course that particular Christmas came ten years later, but who is keeping track of dem lies.
Make what you will of what Kerry reportedly said.
