Kerry's leaning on this story because it's a classic double-bind for Bush, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Nobody can deny that the explosives are gone. Nobody knows where they went, or when ( I do have a hard time believing this, BTW, there must have been satellite surveillance. And the people analyzing the surveillance photos must have been frantic. But we probably would rather not tell Zarqawi anything he doesn't already know about the whereabouts.)

Did we go in as soon as we could have? So many things to balance -- was it wrong to ask the UN for the OK? If UN had given OK, Turkey would have given OK.

Another Kerry double-bind for Bush - not bombing Zarqawi's camp until the war started. Should we have just shot up his camp while playing the waiting game with the inspectors and Saddam? Would it not seem like an act of war? Jumping the gun? Counterproductive?

You and I know that intelligent, serious men and women considered all the ramifications and made tough choices among solutions that had up sides and down sides.

An honest person would realize that no solution existed without down sides. But Kerry pretends that all his choices have up sides and no down sides. That's foolish. But he's trying to appeal to fools. Their votes count just as much as votes from sensible people.

kerry, can confabulate and dissemble unchallenged is beyond me...

The liberals "publicly" have indicated that it is okay to "publicly" lie if you are in politics. It is okay to have sex with an intern. It is okay to "publicly" lie about having sex with an intern. Truth is the first casualty of a liberal.

It makes you wonder if Rove is living up to his press clippings. There is a Kerry commercial about oil that has been running incessantly in NH that is a complete fabrication. It is killing Bush, but his campaign offers no retort.

what amazes me is that kerry continues to run with the original misleading

The truth means nothing to him and his. Look how long they've been trumpeting the January draft or the January taking away of SSI to privatize. Truth means absolutely nothing.

Why the masses don't pick up on that is the real mystery.
