John Kerry: Still Without a Clue

Not sure why I'm bothering. From what this Op-Ed states, he's fully on board with the Murtha plan of cut and run. He wants a time table, though he disguises that by calling them deadlines, and he thinks the over-the-horizon presence as sufficient.

Oh and let's not forget his masterful understanding of the lessons of Vietnam.

WE are now in the third war in Iraq in as many years. The first was against Saddam Hussein and his supposed weapons of mass destruction. The second was against terrorists whom, the administration said, it was better to fight over there than here. Now we find our troops in the middle of an escalating civil war.

Half of the service members listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall died after America's leaders knew our strategy would not work. It was immoral then and it would be immoral now to engage in the same delusion. We want democracy in Iraq, but Iraqis must want it as much as we do. Our valiant soldiers can't bring democracy to Iraq if Iraq's leaders are unwilling themselves to make the compromises that democracy requires.

Does anyone still think the US would have been safer with this elitist politician as president?
