Expect a major speech from Kerry on Iraq within days too. That speech may be a turning point. Remember he's just spent quite a bit of time in the Middle East including Iraq and Syria. Michelle Malkin was just forced to apologize for her lie that the troops dissed Kerry in Iraq. Just the opposite. The troops wanna come home. 90% of them anyway. Kerry may not tell jokes very well but he's very strong on foreign and military matters. Just wait. Biden will also be a major voice. Who all this hurts: McCain, Hillary, Romney, Guiliani, Edwards, Richardson - because the focus is on Iraq in a very anti-Bush way. Not a single commentator I saw on TV today agreed with Bush. Granted though I don't watch Fox News much. Interesting Brownback now opposes Bush's plan. A sleeper for the GOP, the religious conservative who opposes neocons? Vilsack is also a sleeper. Watch out for him coming up from the outside. But if he can't win Iowa he's toast. It's his own state or bust.

I would not mind seeing Joe Liberman as someone's running mate.... but don't think McCain is the one. Don't think he has the traction.

This isn't about Bush and is about much more than Iraq. This is about the whole middle-east, the security of America and world. I haven't heard Obama's remarks. So cannot comment directly on what he said or did not say. Nor on what precise legislation he would submit. I did hear Bush's remarks and support him 100% in sending more troops to help the Iraq people and the American civilians who are there now working for a peace. I do not believe in cutting and running which is what we will do if we don't work to secure Iraq and the Middle East. I watched as the towers went down in New York----and dealt with the fear that people felt in our Washington D.C. area for months after the Pentagon was hit. This my friends is why we are in Iraq----Al Queda, Saddam Hussein, Iran & Syria, North Korea-----homeland security. This is why we have the increased security in our own nation to prevent Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas and the rest of the nation from experiencing the same that New York and Washington experienced. The suicide attack on the towers in New York, the brave Americans who lost their lives in the plane in Penns., the Pentagon bombing. I pray that you and other Americans will never experience these things if this funding is cut. mj
