What I heard was that the Iraqi police need to be better trained, and that we need more "trainers" to do it effectively and in a reasonable amount of time. During the debate, Kerry reiterated that the troops needed to stay until they were no longer needed, until we have "won." What made the President's remark this morning seem so rediculous was the tone of his voice and his smirk as he said it. He definately made it seem as though "If Kerry is elected on tuesday, expect our troops to be gone by wednesday." Like I said, anyone who saw or read the debate in any format knows this to be not just horribly innacurate, but false. What made it even MORE rediculous to me, is this man was more personally involved with Kerry when he (Kerry) made these points than anyone else in the world, other than Kerry himself.
