Bush hasn't seen a war up close so he doesn't know how to fight one.
What happened in Fallujha today is war. Ugly. Brutal. Pitiless. Senseless.
And I don't think Bush has any solution to what happened in Fallujha other than keeping people from looking at it. Denial.
Kerry has seen war. He has probably seen horrors like what happened today. He may not have the magic bullet to save us from Iraq, but I trust him to make better decisions when it comes to spending the lives of our soldiers.
I think there is an opportunity for Kerry to face the challenge of war head on, not treat it with kid gloves, or gloss it over. Hurt Bush by making him look like he is sugar coating war.
