And this is Breaking News why????

> He sees the events of 9-11 as an isolated attack by a madman

Yes. Precisely. I noticed that also. If the RNC and conservative commentators are smart, they can spend the next month hammering AWC Kerry on this.

That, added to building up his "global test" criterion, should be enough to bury him.

Good point on the evolution of the terrorist attack on the West and Israel. It took a Pearl Harbor type terrorist attack to finally wake us up when we should have nipped in its' infancy. I think 29 years of turning the other cheek was being more than patient. It almost bordered on the criminal.

Arggh. This should be in bloggers, not news. Why can't post authors edit the category? I realized it two seconds after I hit post. Grr.

He is the idiot salesman - we will do it smarter, better and quicker. Whatever you need done mame, we will do it and quick. He's got an obsession about getting things done quick. Quick is not always better or possible. To get the job done quick he tells you you need less done than you really need done. Your house is infested with cockroaches and he'd come in with a can of Off mosquito spray, 5 minutes later - "I'm done in 5 minutes, you are all set - no bugs. I am better than all the rest - see!"

Kerry was a master of details, but I could not figure out what the larger picture is from him, muchless the more intermediate goals and themes. The data he vomited was almost a distraction from trying to get a sense of who the man really is and what his overall world viewpoint is. Does this guy have a soul or is he just a walking Google search?

Much like Bush 41, it is really Kerry who suffers from the "vision thing". Whether he has one or not, he can't seem to communicate what it is (besides he was a soldier in Vietnam...enough already).
