BigWill, I really hope you're joking.

Kerry's primary point is that the way the President is running the war is a mistake, and not the goals the President has set. Kerry is trying to convince voters that he has a better way of reaching those goals.

In reply to:

what Kerry had to say greatly undermines the efforts of our country and our soldiers in the Middle East.

That's one opinion. Here's another. I think the way President Bush is running the war (e.g. not completely in touch with reality and paying little heed to intelligence reports from his own staff) greatly undermines the efforts of our soldiers in the Middle East.
