Kerry reinvigorated my belief in his candidacy last night. And Bush reawakened my fears that he is even a bigger idiot than I ever could have believed. Did no one remind him that a split screen means that folks can see him grimacing like a petulant child? Doesn't he remember how Gore was excoriated for his exasperated posturing in the 2000 debates? Kerry obviously had it figured out. Calmly taking notes while Bush rambled. Preparing to skewer Bush on his half-offered "broken-record" platitudes. Actually KEEPING UP with the dialog and thinking on his feet to craft credible, measured responses... It was a breath of freshness from Kerry that had me on the phone for hours after the debates with folks (and not al Qaeda folks either).
When will someone call Bush on the fact that the authorization vote was about Saddam's imminent threat as outlined by the President's intel about the purchase of nuclear fuel? Disputing the yellowcake claim is all the reasonable doubt a responsible legislator would have needed to back off the rush to war. But the CIA report discrediting the Niger claim wasn't put out there until after war had been declared. NOW his administration admits that the yellowcake LIE shouldn't have been foisted on the American people. Ahem... is that not the BIGGEST FLIP FLOP OF ALL?
Bush made much of an assertion that he would never let France veto America's ability to make a pre-emptive strike in the war on terror; however, he DID let Britain's now-universally discredited yellowcake memo trump America's prerogative to AVOID war. Now he's trying to gut-punch Kerry for avoiding a horribly demoralizing sound bite regarding soldiers dying for Bush's mistake. He won't admit his mistake (or miscalculations), but he's got the balls to jab at Kerry for not disparaging soldiers and their families?
America needs a new President in the White House and that President is John Kerry.
