On the other hand JFK's knee jerk, no we shouldn't pull the troops shows the silliness that is the guy's total platform.

1) Our solution to Iraq is to bring in troops from Germany and France
2) We can't pull our troops from Germany and France, how could they survive?

3)Huh?

Oddly enough, your description of Kerry's position bears very little resemblence to what he said to the VFW yesterday:

• "Nobody wants to bring troops home more than those of us who have fought in foreign wars," Mr. Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, told some 6,000 veterans gathered for the V.F.W.'s annual convention, where Mr. Bush announced the plan on Monday. "But it needs to be done at the right time and in a sensible way. This is not that time or that way."
  
  The deployment debate, played out over two days in this imporant swing, was the latest in a string of disagreements over military policy than have dominated the presidential campaign in recent weeks.
  
  Mr. Kerry said he was worried that the withdrawal, now under way, of 12,000 troops from the Korean peninsula would destabilize that area "at the very time we are negotiating with North Korea, a country that really has nuclear weapons."
