Bush takes the gloves off: Kerry Unfit to Lead Amid 'Great Threats', Bush Says By Caren Bohan WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - President Bush labeled Sen. John Kerry on Saturday a political opportunist who is unfit to lead amid "great threats" to America. "At a time of great threats to our country, at a time of great challenges in the world, the commander in chief must stand on principle -- not the shifting sands of political convenience," Bush said at a campaign rally in the crucial battleground state of Florida. The scathing tone of Bush's remarks highlighted the intensity of the neck-and-neck presidential race with just 17 days left before Election Day. On a bus tour of southeastern Florida, Bush cited Kerry's vote a year ago against a request for $87 billion to fund the Iraq war and said that was at odds with his earlier vote to authorize the use of force. "His contradictions call into question his credibility and his ability to lead our nation," Bush said, seizing on the impending one-year anniversary of the vote on funding to revive a favorite attack line against the Massachusetts senator. Bush said Kerry's opposition to the war-spending bill was a politically motivated attempt to court anti-war Democrats as he sought his party's nomination. reuters.myway.com
