"I am convinced that we can prove to the American people that we know how to make them safer and more secure with a stronger, more comprehensive and more effective strategy for winning the war on terror than the Bush administration has ever envisioned," Kerry said as he outlined his plan to combat terrorism in a speech at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Kerry said Mr. Bush has "no comprehensive strategy for victory in the war on terror."

"We cannot win the war on terror through military power alone," said the four-term Massachusetts lawmaker, a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Kerry also accused the president and "his armchair hawks" of weakening the U.S. military by failing to provide proper equipment. He lambasted Mr. Bush for "stonewalling" the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks.

1. Is this a mistake or a ploy?

Hard to believe Rove would allow him to say the war on terror can't be won.

I say it's a mistake. Tough weekend for dumbya.

"catastrophic success"

"TANG was heroic"

What's next?

6. This is vintage bush...

This is him speaking off the top of his head...or out his ass, either way it's the same.
Also I think it's the first attempts by the repukes to lay the foundation of getting us the hell out of Iraq.

9. "Kerry was more heroic than I was!"

didn't you see that?

[rullery]

2. Flip-Flop Bush!

After all his cowboy bluster that we were going to "get" Bin Laden, and "We are going to win the war on terror!" Now Bush lamely says "I don't think you can win it..." FLIP! FLOP! FLIP! FLOP!

Notice that Bush said "We" were going to win, but now he says "You" cannot win it. He dodges responsibility but blaming it on "You". What a despicable Coward he is!

3. I wonder what percentage of our surrogates will repeat this point

over and over and over today. 100 percent, I hope.

We all know damn well if this were a Kerry "Flip Flop" and we were doing 9-11 day at our convention, this would be the point du jour, repeated like a broken record. So let's get to it, Goerge Mitchell et. al.

8. Great work! Sounds like Bush's meds haven't stabilized his condition yet!

Doubtless he's getting new prescriptions filled today or tomorrow. He seems to be in a depressive phase again.

[buycitgo]

10. he's probably so HIGH from all the swiftboat BS

that he's off his meds

that's VERY typical of those on antipsychotics.....they think everything's fine, and they don't need em anymore. Look out, Helen!

let's HOPE that's what it is
