Why the hell are we debating about a war that was 30 years ago? Did Kerry forget we are in one NOW with people dying NOW? I know Bush is loving every second of this because nobody is discussing the disaster in Iraq. The more Kerry fights it the more he helps create news that's not about Iraq. The focus should be on now and the future. Kerry should draw attention to the fact that Bush has created a war that is a disaster. Many of those who are over there volunteered on the assumption that Bush was trustworthy in terms of a plan for this war. Where is it?
On that matter, Bush has had four years of unopposed rule (in terms of the House and Senate). I think Kerry should remind people:
Bush promised healthcare for every American. Where is it?
Bush promised help with prescriptions for the elderly. Where is it?
Bush promised a smaller, more efficient federal government. Where is it?
Bush promised a healthier environmental policy. Where is it?
Bush promised a new, stable, free Iraq. Where is it?
Bush promised an America that leads the way to a better world. Where is it?
He has had four years to do any one of these things, and yet not one has been done.
For the love of God Kerry, lets debate the present, not the past. All this week has done has allowed Americans to forget about Iraq and wonder, "gee does Kerry lie? does he have a temper?"
Bring it back to the stuff that matters. We are being played for fools debating all this Vietnam crap.
