Reply #8: Maybe I'm not supposed to say this, but take if from an oldtimer:

We the people of the United States of America will NOT permit President Kerry to ask any man or woman in the U.S. military to be the last person to die in Iraq.

And if Michael Moore has to make a documentary about it in order to make sure we all do the right thing, he will.

(Professional political handlers take note: If your candidate if filmed saying or doing something, it can and probably will come to the attention of the electorate someday.)

I think Kerry believes in free trade, so I'm sure he'll permit private contractors to remain in Iraq after our military pulls out, if they so wish. I sure wish they would.
