Kerry's "realistic" plan:

Tom Brosz — 9/2/2004 4:58:22 AM (archived)

Boiled down:

- Get help from "others." Again, the idea here seems to be that "others" like Australia, Denmark, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Turkey, and the United Kingdom don't really count. It's only France and Germany that can be "real" allies. How do we get France and Germany on board?

- Bribe France and Germany.

- Make Iraq's neighbors promise to stop causing trouble in Iraq. Hell, why didn't Bush think of that?

- Create an "international high commissioner" to run things. Kind of like the U.N. ran Oil for Food.

- Get NATO on board. Uh, John...of 26 NATO members, 17 are already members of the Coalition. It used to be 18 with Spain. Or are we still dealing from the "France is the center of the universe" paradigm?

- Tell the Iraqis that negotiations are a better idea than civil war. Gee, Bush should have thought of that, too.

There is nothing of importance on that page. Nothing.
