Not a plan for victory

Boston.com / News / Politics / Conventions / Delegate Diary / A battle cry from an inspired delegate: " a real exit strategy to get out of Iraq."

He has an exit strategy not a plan for victory. Any thing short of victory betrays our soldiers that fought and died there and the Iraqi people. This is the lesson Kerry did not learn from Viet-nam. There, everything became about the exit strategy and the enemy could just hang on till we left. When we commit out troops, which Kerry voted for, we must have a plan for victory. This we have under President Bush.

Kerry's "exit strategy" will leave us with helicopters evacuating the last few Americans and the brave Iraqis who believed us when we said we would free them from tyranny being murdered by the Islamists we left in charge. Just like Viet-nam. Iraq is not Viet-nam. Yet.
