He says such a move will send a message to the Middle East that Americans aren't interested in maintaining a permanent military presence in that country.


Since when does he make foreign policy? Maybe he should throw the rest of his medals over the WH fence. Those would be the ones he pretended to throw over back in '71.

Who's got that little STFU animation? It is really needed here.

However, he said any troop withdrawal should be linked to a timetable set by what he calls "a series of benchmarks of accomplishment."

yeah benchmarks like this, first you get a scratch...then you get a band aid...then you complain...then you boast...then you side with the Muslims...then you get another scratch...another band aid...then you ship home... then you marry big time rich...then you run for the Senate in a liberal state....then you do nothing, and people will vote for you... See?..

What a pompous ass. This damnable fool thinks he is president. He gives aid and comfort to our enemies same as he did 37 years ago

Sounds like the 100,000 new cops on the streets back in '94.

100,000 troops sounds as impressive as 10,000 new cops on the street (remember that one?!)

Maybe John Kerry can be the president of Vietnam?

Now Johnny, why don't we let the nice men in uniforms with shiny stars on their shoulders make those decisions? Maybe you'd like to go wind surfing now.

Syria and Iran should really be paying attention because Kerry may have given away our intent when we don't pull out 100,000 be next year.

It strikes me that Mr. War Hero (did all of you know he served in Vietnam?) with all his medals, should volunteer to go over and fight himself. Armed with his "war record" he ought to be able to take care of things in, say, the same 3 month time period he was in 'Nam. (Since he'd immediately try to set up a support meeting with bin Laden, it might also be the fastest way to find Osama himself).

No Senator Kerry, we need to withdraw 94,694 troops. Where do you get a nice easy round number like 100,000. What if we only pull out 99,999 and leave that 1 guy on the battlefiled to torture the kids and children and women. Using a nice round number like that tells you all you need to know about this guy. His number is not based on any plan whatsoever, it's just a nice round number.

I would have been impressed if he would have laid out a certain nmber of troops ot remain for each province and each major city - stating we need to keep this many here and here and the remainder can come home. But he didn't because that would actually be a plan. Instead he pulls a nice round number out of thin air and says "oh this sounds good".

You can see the dems demanding these benchmarks and troop withdrawal. It kills me that you know they are going to claim victory next year. Bush has had benchmarks through this entire process and he's hit everyone of them with the Dems yammering how it will never happen. Then it does and they move on to the next "never gonna happen" moment. Now they see the writing on the wall and the only way the think they can get out of their defeatist stance is to claim defeat in the presence of victory. I truly believe these people should be rounded up and tried for treason 0 starting with John F'n and Nancy "Plastic Face" Pelosi.

He's not the only one in Congress who brings the word "traitor" to mind.
