Kerry as Pres would indeed "screw the ordinary folk" by turning over their government to the direction of the UN. Stay on topic. When - during this campaign -did Kerry say he would turn over the US government to the UN's direction. It's an idiotic claim by Ann.

It might have been a good thing to have waited for France and Germany's approval before we went in and spent 500+ lives and around 200 billion dollars to create chaos and a breeding ground for Al Queda. Think about it; France and Germany were RIGHT in all of their objections to the wmd argument and the doability of the thing, as well as the probable effect on future terrorism. Is it time to get off the wagon and take a look at the cliff it's heading toward?

An idiotic claim by Bush: "Mission Accomplished" May 2003 The United States has lost nearly 600 military personnel since the war began, a year ago last week. Of those, at least 437 have died since May 1, when President Bush landed on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and, under a banner reading "Mission Accomplished," declared major combat over. Some note that the list of names is roughly equivalent to what U.S. forces racked up in their first eight years in Vietnam, 1957-1964. But of those 401 deaths, 324 occurred in the final two years. Perhaps the more meaningful way to examine the death toll is in the context of what military personnel and their families are saying about the violence in Iraq, where as many as 10,700 civilians and 600-plus Iraqi policemen—recruited after the fall of Saddam—have died. U.S. soldiers returning from Iraq note that everything from their own convoy security to contractor support to basic equipment—from socks to body armor and, as The Wall Street Journal showed last week, vehicles—has been lacking.
