WASHINGTON — Sen. John Kerry (search) says President Bush should bring home 20,000 troops from Iraq over the Christmas holidays if the December elections there are successful. That's nice Kerry. Keep talking out of your ass.
Here is a hint, you don't win wars by time tables, negotiation or giving yourself 3 purple hearts.
"It will be hard for this administration, but it is essential to acknowledge that the insurgency will not be defeated unless our troop levels are drawn down, starting immediately after successful elections in December," Kerry said in a speech prepared for delivery Wednesday at Georgetown University. Excerpts of the speech were obtained by the Associated Press.
Um...The bad guys won't be defeated by us until we leave? That is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard. Kinda like France saying it beat Germany in 1940 by surrendering.
The presence of 159,000 U.S. troops in Iraq is deterring peace efforts, said Kerry, a
Actually, they are killing many terrorists with the new Iraqi forces and putting many of them out of buisness. Attacks are down from 300 a day to 3. That is a 300% fucking drop you moron and if you ever show up to the Senate meetings, you might actually know this.
"To undermine the insurgency, we must instead simultaneously pursue both a political settlement and the withdrawal of American combat forces linked to specific, responsible benchmarks," Already doing it he said. "At the first benchmark, the completion of the December elections, we can start the process of reducing our forces by withdrawing 20,000 troops over the course of the holidays."
Home by Christmas, John?
Kerry, who voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq, has been a strong critic of Bush's handling of the war, accusing the president of misleading the public into going to war.
John, here is a cookie. Now go sit over there by yourself until you learn how to play with others and not poop on the white house lawn.
