Kerry Accuses Bush of Failures in Iraq

CHICAGO - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) on Friday accused President Bush (news - web sites) of a "failure of leadership" in the conduct of the war in Iraq (news - web sites), contending the president has also failed to minimize the risks for American soldiers as well as the costs for taxpayers.

"This administration has been gridlocked by its own ideology, its own arrogance," Kerry told about two dozen Democratic donors at a breakfast meeting. "We can succeed but, boy, it's a lot tougher than it has to be."

In a campaign swing through Midwestern industrial states suffering amid a stagnant economy, Kerry was seeking to focus on jobs. Questions about the violence in Iraq were pulling him off that message.

"This administration has stubbornly refused to involve other countries in the real decision-making," he told donors. "I think this has been a failure of diplomacy, a failure of foreign policy."
