A summit + better training + elections = a plan for Iraq?
Kerry continues to lack much of a plan on Iraq.

I think there is something to remember amidst all this discussion about multilateralism and involving foreign powers, and that thing to remembere is that even if the UN ok’ed this war and we had the whole world in our back pocket, the US would still have to shoulder the bulk of the cost and military action. The US spends more on defense than pretty much all of Europe put together.
Saying we would be better off and not taking casualties if we brought along France is like saying you can beat Mike Tyson if you bring your 6-year-old brother to help you fight him.
Mr. Kerry has articulated that he thinks the situation would be better if the “world community” was more involved through the UN. But how? How will the world help? How do you help the only superpower in the world fight a war?
