SENATOR SWIVEL:
ABC's GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: "Can you promise that American troops will be home by the end of your first term?"SEN. JOHN KERRY: "I will have significant enormous reduction in the level of troops. We will probably have a continued presence of some kind, serge in the region if the diplomacy that I believe can be put in place can work, I think we can significantly change the deployment of troops not just there but elsewhere in the world. In the Korean peninsula, perhaps in Europe perhaps. There are great possibilities open to us." (ABC's, This Week, 8/1/04)
If the whole VP thing doesn't work out, John Edwards can always sue Senator Kerry for all the whiplash he's induced. Posted by Orrin Judd at August 19, 2004 9:50 AM
Don't be negative. Perhaps he can smooze France and Japan to stand in for us in Germany and S. Korea. He's very nuanced you know and served in Viet Nam and Cambodia, wherever that is now.

Posted by: AC at August 19, 2004 10:34 AMWhere exactly is Senator Edwards? Maybe he's campaigning in that second America he keeps talking about...

Posted by: Jeff Guinn at August 19, 2004 9:14 PMEdwards is off preparing motions to quash any demands/requests for Kerry's records (military, Senate, tax, etc.).
Posted by: jim hamlen at August 19, 2004 10:07 PMIf the Bush campaign has any brains, they'll run this little clip right next to a clip of Kerry saying bringing the troops home is a "cynical ploy."
Hmmm, assuming ABC will give the Bushies the rights to... Oh, never mind.
