You have articulated very well. If there is one thing about Bush that I consider he should be held accountable for is in the area that Kerry put it the best. A president sh;uld be in a position to look into the eye of a father and mother and tell them that as President he exhausted all meansbefore comitting their sons and daughter to war. This President did not do that. he rushed to war. He did not listen to the international weapons inspectors who were already in Iraq and could not find anything significant and woth shedding American blood. He had all the advice from the world community to hold off ordering troops into Iraq. And he just thumbed his nose at the world. Bush I on the other hand ordered the MAerican troops after he formed the world coalition. And even after he ordered the troops for Desrt Storm in 1991, he agonized, prayed at the WH Chapel for almost and hour with Rev. Billy Graham, and then wept as the Reverend comforted him. This President is surely not a chip of the old block. And he has the gall to blame his own intelligence agency. That is the most troubling thing to me is that he does not in any way value American military lives. And hence he does not deserve to be our C-in-C Yours truly (who is not a vet)
