I'ev said over and over I think the war was justified, and I supported it. My objections to Bush in regard to Iraq is I think his administration has done a miserable job in the "post major combat operations" phase.

The war didn't go well, so you're going to kick him out in favor of a man who has not been willing to take a consistent position on it? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I could see it if it were John McCain against Bush. Or even Howard Dean. But if you vote for Kerry, you're voting for a man about whom you know NOTHING.

Bush's failure has been a communication failure, NOT a failure to execute. Wars get ugly. This one really hasn't, yet. We have to think back on the prewar days. What has happened is just what everyone KNEW would happen -- it is going to require getting into a meatgrinder with soldiers and gutting it out. There should be no surprise here. It would have been great for it to have gone more smoothly. But it didn't. We don't bail out now, though.

Kerry has already said he would set a timetable for withdrawal. Horrible mistake. You can't fight a shooting war that way and expect your enemy to surrender. They know how long they have to hang on. It's nuts.
