Tuesday, Sen. John F. Kerry (D) Massachusetts demonstrated in the OP/ED Pages of the New York Times in a piece “The Speech the President Should Give” one reason he stills sits at the same Senate desk he’s held down since 1984. Mr. Kerry’s remarks seem a grab bag of initiatives untried by the Bush administration in Iraq for one giant reason: They will not work. With so many initiatives, Mr. Kerry must be duck hunting again with his scatter gun. Where to begin breaking down his missive is the least troubling question presented. Mr. Kerry calls for a U.N. Multinational...

flippin' again 02/15 05:13 PM John Kerry has signaled his support for President Bush’s $81.9B Iraq/Afghanistan/tsunami funding request. And just to “clarify,” Kerry spoke of his previous vote against military funding: “Mine was the right vote at the time and I wouldn't change it if we went back to that point in time because it was the right vote.” Whether it’s concerning his Vietnam record or funding for U.S. troops, Kerry has settled on his response to questions concerning his campaign’s setbacks.

Does it ever seem like John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign just keeps going and going? The latest offering of campaign-like news coverage comes from the San Francisco Chronicle which published a Jan. 6 article about Kerry's visit to Iraq that reads as if it was written by his old campaign staff. The focus of the story's headline - that Kerry was "cheered in Baghdad" - contains an assertion that is supported no where in the entire article. The dispatch also claims Kerry was "greeted warmly by soldiers in Baghdad," but contains nothing to support that assertion either. Did soldiers...
