Kerry sets the record straight

The war in Iraq is President Bush's signature failure. To reduce the damage the war has caused him, Bush and his campaign operatives have spent the last six months attacking and distorting John Kerry's position on Iraq and military service. But yesterday, in a powerful speech in New York, Kerry set the record straight.
John Kerry laid out a plan to end Bush's irrational, deceptive and unilateral policy in Iraq, and pursue a policy of international cooperation to end the worsening rebellion and rebuild Iraq -- and bring our troops home. And Kerry made it clear that we would not be in Iraq today if he were president.
The action today is simple: if you like what you hear from Kerry in the speech below, pass this email on to your friends, neighbors, co-workers -- anyone who wants to hear from you on this issue. It's critical we spread the word that John Kerry has a real plan, not just a smoke and mirrors cover-up by Bush of the deadly Iraq blunder.
Below are excerpted highlights. You can read the whole thing at:

Here are the main points from Kerry's speech on Iraq yesterday:
The war on Iraq was a mistake -- war was unnecessary because the inspections were working: "Today, President Bush tells us that he would do everything all over again, the same way. How can he possibly be serious? Is he really saying that if we knew there were no imminent threat, no weapons of mass destruction, no ties to Al Qaeda, the United States should have invaded Iraq? My answer is no -- because a commander in chief's first responsibility is to make a wise and responsible decision to keep America safe."

Please use the original titles when posting articles. Thanks.
1. Congress was right to authorize the President the use of military force.
2. The President was wrong to have the spine to actually follow through on his warnings.
3. A more world-wise President would have understood that the U.N. would jointly act on it's threat to impose severe consequences.
4. A true man of the world knows that "severe consequences" means a seventeenth very sternly worded resolution.
5. A deft politician knows that important legislation such as funding the troops at war should have his name on it (for the first time in twenty years).
6. When that legislation fails to win support you must oppose any other legislation that meets the same ends, even if you've pledged to do so, and it means you have called yourself a fool.
7. When it is apparent that despite all the help the media can give you that the President's plan is working, adopt it as your own and claim the President is not executing it fast enough, even though you voted against the money that is needed to fund the plan.
I am of course quite familiar with Aljazeera, but I hadn't heard of "Al-Jazeerah". When one opens the link that you so kindly supplied and clicks on the homepage link, scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will find solicitations for PayPal donations and a Georgia contact address.
This is the English homepage for the Aljazeera scum that most people are likely familiar with:

I just thought that readers might be interested, so that there's no confusion.
