Pakistan Forces and Al Queida
Or however its spelled.

Let me see if I understand this. We were attacked and we have military forces located in Afghanastan of such strength that they rival the whole army's of many countrys combined. Yet it is the Pakaistan army that is going after whoever it is who the news tells us is of great importance and cornered. So tell me, what are our troops doing? Do we not have enough forces in Afghanistan to be effective? Could it be that the diversion of our troops into Iraq has left us so weakened in Afghanistan that we can not wage an attack on the ones who actually attacked us these two long years ago? Is it possible that if our troops were pulled out of Kabul to go do battle against our country's enemys that the Capital would fall to the Taliban?

It is hard to immagine how anyone other than Bush could have got our country into such bad shape, to have done it at such great cost, and to have accomplished absolutly no good what so ever in the process.

2. Pakistan insists on going solo
They were very clear on this. US forces are ready and waiting nearby in case they are needed and we are providing intel to help the Pakistani forces.

5. Didn't Powell just announce an upgrade in Pak's military status with US?
This upgrade officially renamed their status and allows them to now receive US military supplies and weaponry.

I think this came immediately before the announcement of Pak cornering the person of importance.

The stink is strong.

6. In addition, we pulling out of the Kosovo area just when we are needed to
finish the job. Now, the situation looks bleak as the entire area is about to go up in flames. We are now known as good Starters but Poor Finishers.

Bush gatta do some fancy talking to spin the evidence cause the evidence thus far shows very poor and one sided Leadership. And thats the worse kind.
Ans so they will trot out spin/deception/distraction but to no avail as more and more people are finging out... you cannot eat Spin/BS

YOU CAN'T EAT SPIN

should be a bumper sticker for Kerry. Those Hungry Americans had better learn how to vote these selfish lying Pubs out..... in great numbers cause thats what its gonna take.

or, we can always try "HungiER"

Vote for "OUR" QB, he the only one to lead us to the Holy Bowl
Go Kerry
