Kerry might be able to pry a few thousand additional troops out of Europe, but I doubt it.  Let's face it, there are only two places we can hope to get the troops we need in Iraq in the quantities we need them.  Here in the US and hopefully in Iraq.  Unfortunately, our attempts to build up Iraqi forces have not proved as rapid as we had hoped and neither Bush nor Kerry seems willing to increase the size of our Army so that we would have more troops to send to Iraq ourselves.  Instead, we're sucking dry the Reserves and the Guard in a vain attempt to pretend that the mess poor planning has gotten us into in Iraq is only temporary.
No matter who is elected this year, our troops in Iraq will be a campaign issue in 2008.

Given the international opinion of what we've been doing in Iraq and in Afghanistan, it probably would be both easier and more productive to get additional international troops for Afghanistan.
