The debate: Despite my failed efforts not to taint my analysis with my own prejudices, here are some key points that the punditry universe isn't focusing on enough. * Kerry said Bush took troops away from General Tommy Franks for Iraq. NOT TRUE! General Franks already has said and written THAT IS NOT TRUE. I recently spoke with Franks number two, Lt General Mike DeLong, and he reaffirmed, it was not true. o Troop levels in Afghanistan actually GREW during Operation Iraqi Freedom o and there are more troops there now that before the Iraq invasion. * Kerry said Gen Shinseki was fired/relieved for insisting we needed more troops in Iran. FALSE. Shinseki was relieved for ticking off Rumsfeld BEFORE he claimed troop levels needed to be more. * Kerry said he never used the "lie" word.....? At least twice in December 2003, Kerry said, "This administration has lied to us." * Kerry claimed bin Laden recruits by saying 'The US declared war on Islam.' BULLFEATHERS! Osama declared war ON US in 1993. * The 'great debater'/'great trial lawyer' said Bush imposed sanctions against Iran? Huh? Didn't that happen about 20 years ago before Bush got clean and sober? * Kerry insists that 'somehow' he will convince allies to replace our troops with theirs for 'the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place'? However, as the Wall Street Journal has noted, the French and the Germans have ALREADY put the kibosh to that brain flatulence. It ain't gonna happen! * Kerry 'plans' for everything including cleaning up Russian nukes in 4 years is both unrealistic and unattainable...based on false confidence fueled by ego and unsupported by facts. * His absurd and dangerous suggestion we should have "offered the opportunity to provide the nuclear fuel" to the Iranians exceeds the P.J. O'Rourke admonition about "giving whiskey and car keys to a teenage boy..."
