re: I can't say about the ad as I haven't seen it. But Kerry is saying it on the stump today as I just saw THAT on the news.

The reason I ask specifically, is that Bush is the master of innuendo. "Saddam, 9/11, Saddam, 9/11, Saddam, 9/11, Saddam, 9/11", without ever saying specifically the SH was involved in 9/11, but clearly leaving that impression.

So I'm wondering if Kerry is studying at the feet of the master of deception.

Editorial: Iraq/Is it becoming a lost cause?


September 18, 2004 ED0918

The news about Iraq this week has been all bad. Indeed, if you read what the experts say, Iraq may now be a lost cause. Some sensible people are beginning to utter the unthinkable: Bring the troops home and refuse to pour more blood and money into an obvious -- and monumental -- U.S. defeat. That is not an easy notion to contemplate for two reasons: what it would leave in Iraq and the Middle East, and the explosive repercussions it would have for the United States at home and abroad. But that it is being uttered aloud in polite company underscores a reality Americans must face: There is no good road forward in Iraq.

That reality is at the heart of the classified intelligence estimate on Iraq which was leaked to news organizations this week. The gist of the estimate is this: If everything goes perfectly in Iraq, the best the United States can hope for is a country, as the New York Times said, "whose stability would remain tenuous in political, economic and security terms."
