Kerry is a combat war hero vs. a draft-dodging AWOL Bush.
We don't need Republicans telling us about courage and service to our country. When it was Cheney and Bush's turn to serve, they fled and hid. Same with all the rightwing leaders. Delay, Limbaugh, etc. All cowards. Zero combat experience amongst them all put together.

If you get your coverage from Fox news you're getting a false picture. I was watching the European version of CNN a report about how the Arab correspondents inside places like Fallujah are covering the Iraq story. Western journalists only travel with the US military.

The reality, massive death (we killed more than 1000 already in Fallujah alone), destruction, mayhem, anger even amongst moderates and more and more jihadists ready to die to defeat us. This situation is brought on because the US is going it alone without the UN or any real moral excuse to be in Iraq, unlike Afghanistan and the Gulf War where there was moral clarity. it is also brought on by the dishonesty of Cheney and Bush.

Unless we get very lucky, the middle east may be about to explode on us, and Israel. To defend ourselves we will have to kill thousands more. It may become like Vietnam or Mogadishu where we decide, screw it, just kill them all.

I have heard than about 50% of our current troops will never re-enlist. That's why they're talking draft.

There is one pretty sure way to pacify Iraq, elect John Kerry.
