Transform the Military to Meet Modern Threats. They will ensure that our military is fully prepared to meet the new security challenges by: (1) expanding our active duty forces by 40,000 soldiers; (2) doubling America's Special Forces capability and increasing other specialized personnel; (3) completing the process of technological transformation; (4) making homeland security an additional mission for the National Guard; and (5) keeping faith with our veterans and military families.




WIN THE PEACE IN IRAQ. Kerry and Edwards have a realistic plan to create a secure and stable Iraq where democracy can take hold so that we can bring our troops home without leaving behind a potential haven for terrorists. They will:

Persuade NATO to Make the Security of Iraq one of its Global Missions. To reduce the burden on America and open the door to greater international involvement, they will persuade NATO to deploy a significant portion of the forces needed to secure Iraq, including the troops that the UN needs to provide security for the elections.

Plan for Iraq's Future. This will include: (1) securing a pledge from Iraq's neighbors - notably Syria and Iran -- to respect its borders and not interfere in internal affairs, (2) working with our allies to forgive Iraq's multi-billion dollar debts, and (3) supporting the development of a new Iraqi constitution and the political arrangements needed to protect minority rights.

Launch a Massive and Accelerated Training Effort to Build Iraqi Security Forces. To provide real security for the Iraqi people, they will involve NATO and other nations in a major effort to create effective Iraqi security forces.

In process if not already been done. NATO refused to sent troops and it's not going to suddenly bow over to our demand because we change administration.

This will include: (1) securing a pledge from Iraq's neighbors - notably Syria and Iran -- to respect its borders and not interfere in internal affairs, (2) working with our allies to forgive Iraq's multi-billion dollar debts, and (3) supporting the development of a new Iraqi constitution and the political arrangements needed to protect minority rights. In process if not already been done and Iran will suddenly comply with "Great Satan" just because it's Kerry in office and not Bush.

Launch a Massive and Accelerated Training Effort to Build Iraqi Security Forces. To provide real security for the Iraqi people, they will involve NATO and other nations in a major effort to create effective Iraqi security forces. Done and done, women are being trained in Jordan and NATO have already agreed and begin to take over training.

This stuff is all already underway... the DOD is trying hard to expand active duty and special forces. Military technology is constantly improving, regardless of who is in the whitehouse. Homeland security already is THE primary mission for the national guard. We all have faith in our veterans. I dont think john kerry did though when he returned from nam and called them all raping baby killers.

What this looks like is Kerry making an effort to take things Bush has already done and claim to have done them himself.
