Sign the Petition on Iraq!!!! - John Kerry: They Deserve Answers
Dear Friend,

President Bush has a major opportunity today. He’s leaving Crawford to speak to the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ convention in Utah. When he does, he needs to leave behind the pep talks, the open-ended “things are looking better” claims and the empty rhetoric.

It’s time for the President to stand and deliver.

That’s why I am asking you to support an “America Demands Answers” petition to President Bush. Starting with today’s VFW speech, we’re going to keep the pressure on George W. Bush until he finally addresses questions that have gone unanswered for far too long.



Every American deserves straight answers from the President — and no one deserves them more than America’s veterans and our military families.

When will the President get it right in Iraq?

When will he deliver to the nation and those sacrificing so much in Iraq a concrete plan for peace and victory?

Why, at this late date, is the Pentagon still struggling to get the right supplies and body armor to America’s troops?

When will the President support a military large enough to face the challenges of today’s world?

And when will the President stop short-changing America’s veterans? When will he stop closing hospitals, cutting benefits, and making veterans wait weeks for a doctor’s appointment?

Tell the President, it’s time for answers. I am a veteran who is deeply concerned about the administration’s lack of clarity on Iraq and lack of compassion on veterans’ benefits. Join me in signing the “America Demands Answers” petition. http://www.johnkerry.com/petition/answers.php

12. "Peace and Victory"? More troops? Please go away John,
The same drivel from the same guy that voted for the war.

14. You don't want Peace?
You don't think that we should leave Iraq in some semblance of the way Bush started there? That's the victory-- doing the right thing, yes, cleaning up the mess we made. Clean it up and get the F out.

Oh and FYI he didn't say send more troops to Iraq. Read the damn email!

15. YOU read it. What do you think more troops are for?
Parades? Perhaps "victory" parades.

"When will the President support a military large enough to face the challenges of today’s world?"

Clean it up? You mean like we're doing now? Doing the right thing?

The right thing is to get the hell out of the Iraqi's country now.

Kerry is still trying to cover his pathetic, cowardly, butt for voting for the war he still supports.

Get back to me when he has a petitiion to end the war now.

17. Kerry "standing up to Bush"? Like when he voted for the war?
Like calling for more troops? Like asking for "clarification" of what is an obvious policy of colonialism? Like asking for "victory"?

About the same as Chamberlain stood up to Hitler.
