Let's see you put a positive spin on this:......President Bush, presenting himself as the best candidate to keep America safe, was accused by John Kerry on Monday of "unbelievable incompetence" in the disappearance of hundreds of tons of powerful explosives in Iraq.

"Every step of the way, this administration has miscalculated," Kerry said in Dover, N.H. He spoke shortly before traveling to Philadelphia for a rally with former President Clinton, who was making his first political appearance since heart surgery nearly seven weeks ago.

Kerry said the Bush administration had "miscalculated about how to go to war, miscalculated about the numbers of troops that we would need, miscalculated about sending young Americans to war without the armor they needed, without the Humvees they needed that were armored."

"And the incredible incompetence of this president and this administration has put our troops at risk and put this country at greater risk than we ought to be," Kerry said.

Running mate John Edwards, campaigning in Ohio, added, "After today, it's hard to imagine that even they'll continue believing things are going well."

You are WRONG!

The original Zarqawi that US Intelligence knew was a skinny and wiry man who walked with a limp. He was also reported to have died a while back.

The present Zarqawi, imho, as we know him today from Iraqi and US news, is a sort of stocky and tough-looking guy who walks normally and also struts "macho-ly". It is believed that this man is actually not Zarqawi but a creation of the Bushies designed for fearmongering purposes and to help support Bush's plea for more time in which to complete unfinished business in Iraq.

I believe that, sooner or later, bribery will help the US get Zarqawi. Indeed, bribery helped in getting Saddam's sons killed and nabbing Saddam! (BTW, the US took credit for capturing Saddam. LOL! The truth was Saddam was nabbed by the Kurds who later sold him to the US for an undisclosed sum and for political concessions.)

It is not necessary to have Bush to defeat the Iraqis. Kerry can do the job just as well, if not much better.

By the way, if you have read Julian Jaynes' "The Origins of Consciouness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" (ISBN 0-618-05707-2) you will have a good idea why so very many folks are following Bush like sheep..........................
