Kerry never said he plans to bring troops home. What he said is, the cost and burden of the Iraq war is overwhelmingly placed on American soldiers. If he is elected, and the rest of the world can hate us just a little bit less, other international authorities can interject and hopefully ease some of the burden. He envisions that his administration would, within possibly 6 months, be able to start reducing troop deployment in Iraq. Remember: troop deployment in Iraq is worse than the Bush administration ever thought it would be, and many of the troops there Stop-loss troops or reservists, people who were never supposed to be there in the first place. He's talking about not forcing soldiers to unretire against their will, not retreating from our mess.
