They keep asking what Kerry would do in Iraq because they need suggestions

Pass it on.

Junior is trying to avoid casualties by keeping the troops holed up in encampments, and even that isn't working: September is the fourth-largest death rate of any month since the beginning of the war.

The price of this is conceding much of the country, and virtually every city. The insurgents will be able to reorganize, and any attempt to retake these areas will be messy.

It's all political: a big holding action to keep a happy face on things until the election. Increasingly vicious recrimination will come from Republicans against any mention of this whopper of a mess.

Bush and his people claim that they shouldn't have to say what he'll do because that would tip our hand to the enemy. Anything Kerry says will be derided, and then pointed out as now known to the enemy. It's fun when it's your ball, isn't it?

1. LOL

That would be a GREAT answer in the debates, when Bush whines, "But what's your plan for Iraq?"

2. Per a Du'er: "Bush says Kerry has 8 positions on Iraq - and they are all

better than Bush's. . ."

read on a thread today - sorry I can't remember who said this
