Kerry speaks of getting troops out rapidly

``If I'm president of the United States, we will not hesitate to move rapidly to get this internationalized in a way that ends combat operations and begins to get our troops out rapidly,'' Kerry said in the interview.

Asked whether troops would be in Iraq in four years, Kerry said he was hopeful combat would be completed, and added, ``there may be some presence of an international force. I think the United States needs to end the sense of American occupation and I will do that.''

Earlier, during a round-table discussion of veterans, Kerry was questioned by a woman who lost a brother in the Vietnam War what he planned to do to bring the troops home if elected president. Kerry said losing in Iraq would be dangerous for the United States and the world, but he promised to get Americans home ``as fast as possible with honor.''

The Democrat criticized President Bush's ``blustery, arrogant policies'' and told about 300 people during a town-hall meeting at the National Railroad Museum, ``I will destroy the terrorists, but I am going to build a bridge to every last country we can so war is the last resort.''

It's appreciated.

ALWAYS RELENTLESS

or there will be NO honor, johnny boy.

Iraq will be an Al Qaeda stronghold, just as Bin Laden desired for years. Why do you think Saddam kept the Islamic extremists OUT of Iraq for so long?

Bin Laden had Hussein targeted for assassination or overthrow for years. Bush HELPED Bin Laden by getting rid of Saddam. By pushing for a fast election, Bush has assured that the Islamic fundamentalists will win since they are the largest constituency. Say goodbye to any freedom for Iraqi women. Say hello to an oil-rich state governed by Bin Laden or his Iraqi surrogate.

How about just ending the occupation? I don't much like the idea of destroying the terrorists, either. I hope he's just saying this shit to get votes.
