if KERRY would have won would he send our troops to IRAQ?

Question

would KERRY be the better president? would he make US a better place rather then doing what B U S H it is doing now? or would he be just as B U S H i t is? war war war .

Answer 1

They were already committed to Iraq, but I do think he'd have an actual plan for getting us out before the next century.....

Answer 2

Invasion of Iraq was March 20, 2003 and the presidential election was November 2004 so it's a trick question. Had the vote re-count in Florida not been stopped and Gore was president, we would not have invaded Iraq. We would have gone into Afghanistan and gotten bin Laden and I feel sure we would have recognized the complex reasons Afghanistan had become a haven for al Qaeda in the first place and addressed them: Poverty, the Taliban, the madrases schools that create hatred. It is impossible to know if voters would have approved the expenditure of several billion dollars to improve schools in Afghanistan after 9/11 since many think we short our own schools, but President Gore would have done a credible job trying to persuade us with facts that it was good investment. Instead we have Bush who lied us into a war in Iraq for which we are spending two billion dollars per week with no end in sight and little chance of success.

Answer 3

We Dem's have a vastly different way of doing business. We would have gone into Afghanistan and concentrated on it. We wouldn't have gone into Iraq that was pointless and we don't cherry pick intelligence. We also have far more respect for the constitution and peoples rights than any republican, So yes Kerry would have done things vastly differently No mega tax break for the super wealthy,No warrant less spying on US citizens,No corporate welfare, As for Iraq that show was already in motion when the 2004 election took place. We probably would already be out of there because we Dem's tend to manage wars better we have boat loads of experience in successful wars the only screw up on our war record is Vietnam and that took a republican to pull the plug in that his name was Nixon.

Answer 4

First, in 2004 our troops were already in Iraq, so by the time Kerry would have been inaugurated (shudder!) in January 2005, we'd have already been there for nearly 2 years.

As for Kerry being a good president, there is no telling, but it would not be apparent from his history that he would be anything but an appallingly poor president.

The sad and scary thing is how close the hollow traitor Kerry came to being president.

Answer 5

I really don't think that anyone else would have gone into Iraq. From what I have seen, read and heard, Bush had alterior motives in that, and he was settling a score for his daddy. Kerry had no reason to go into the country, and would not have. Our own commission stated that Iraq had no connections and nothing to do with Al Qaeda and 9/11. So what is up? Why did we go in?

Answer 6

In his inagural speech, Woodrow Wilson said "my job as president is to hand the country over to the next president in as good or better shape then I recieved it" or something like that. Kerry was a believer in that kind of presidency and the US would NOT have gone to war with anybody unless we were attacked first.

Answer 7

Our troops were already in Iraq when Kerry ran for office. Get a clue.

Answer 8

Kerry would probably have gone to Iraq with Hanoi Jane Fonda, pulled all of our troops out, and let Saddam go on murdering the Kurdish people.

Answer 9

Maybe yes and then maybe he would look at really who attacked 9/11 and say the Iraq's were not responsible like an intelligent person.

Answer 10

Shortly after taking office in 1985, Kerry and Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa went on a fact-finding trip to Nicaragua, where they met with Daniel Ortega and other Sandinistas. The trip was criticized when the Sandinistas cemented ties with Moscow.

John Kerry: "I was in Cambodia on Christmas Eve 1968, it's seared in my memory."

John 'cherry-picking' Kerry said on January 23rd, 2003,"Without question we need to disarm Saddam Hussein.
He is a brutal, murderous dictator leading an impressive regime.He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently
prone to miscalculation. And now he's miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction.
His consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction."
