"I may ask some Democratic colleagues and experts to go to Iraq and make this assessment so I have a strong basis on which to proceed," he was quoted as saying in an article scheduled to hit newsstands Monday.

Hillary lifts her head up from a plate of cheesecake and says, "Oh...really?"

Arkancide ahoy!

"....The United States "had understandings in the region about the right of a democratic regime to ask for help," he said....."

Haiti is/was Kerry's idea of a democracy. Aristide is a third world punk dictator of the first order, and Kerry would send in our troops, in a minute, just like Clinton did.

The Bush camp ought to pick up on this and make it an issue.

[OXENinFLA]

And Pres. Bush should pull the add because of what??

[cricket]

Agence France-Presse; casts their vote FOR John Kerry. . .

[cricket]

"Debate over the images has dominated the early days of Bush's race against Democratic challenger John Kerry, who criticised Sunday the president's handling of the Haitian crisis and said he would likely send a fact-finding mission to Iraq."

While not related to the story they manage a double punch on behalf of Kerry in one sentence - good one.

everyone should listen to that.

never forget
never surrender


Perhaps one day, on the aniversaries of 9/11 the whole world will pause in silence.

"I may ask some Democratic colleagues and experts to go to Iraq and make this assessment so I have a strong basis on which to proceed," he was quoted as saying in an article scheduled to hit newsstands Monday.

Gee, Mr. Kerry, isn't it a bit late in the game to be looking for facts? Does this mean your positions in the past have not been based on facts? Hello? Hello?

As if any of us give a flying leap what McCain would have done.

He hopes we forgot that he made a campaign ad of him visiting a grave at Arlington National Cemetary.

I will be calling his office today to remind him that I remember very well.

what are the zip codes in his district. The keep track by zip code. If we have zip codes for the area we can all participate.

We need the first three numbers at least.

"Hillary lifts her head up from a plate of cheesecake and says, "Oh...really?"

Well, Hillary has managed to confirm all our assumptions. . .

Her eyes; glazed in thoughtful consideration; Hillary finally responds to the interviewer who has asked her 'what qualifications should a VP have?

Hillary responds that whomever is chosen; that person should, of course, have the qualifications to be able to carry the responsibilities as President - in case something happened. . .if ever something happened. . .to the president.

The desire for Presidential power, so consumes Hillary; she can no longer hide it; it is there, embedded in her every response. Even her laugh - when she is forced to deny the truth of her presidential ambition.

John Kerry has entered the zone. . .

Does Hillary know or see how transparent she is? Her answer, put her right inside the Oval Office :^)

[Conspiracy Guy]

No reason to pull the ads.

We Remember

We saw the look upon his face,
Through whispers he was told.
We knew he felt just what we felt,
We wouldn’t sit here cold.
We knew this time that we would act,
And not just turn our head.
This time we’d go and we’d go big,
We wouldn’t bomb some shed.
He called them faceless cowards,
He vowed we’ll hunt them down.
We watched as he spoke to us all,
Sincerely, not some clown.
His eyes assured us he’d not rest,
Until they paid the price.
Yes we’d turn over every stone,
Until they were on ice.
He warned the battle would be long,
That many would forget.
That some would say, let’s just move on,
Not him, his mind was set.
We backed him then, we back him now,
The fight must still go on.
We can’t back down, we can’t let up,
Until the threat is gone.
God Bless our troops as on they fight,
Each day for them we pray.
We thank them all, for all they do,
“They are the best”, we say.
We will support our President,
He’s proven he will stand.
We’ll vote for Bush this coming fall,
We will protect this land.

"The Bush camp ought to pick up on this and make it an issue."

They should; but save for a couple of hits; political correctness will rule.

[samtheman]

If they pulled those ads I'd stop sending them money.

[patriciamary]

Big deal, when is the Bush team going to go an the offensive and stand up to all these statementa .Fight Back!!!!!!!!

[JLAGRAYFOX]

A vote for John Kerry and the "traitor" Democrat Party that caused 911 is a vote to support Osama Bin Laden and will assist in the killing of more innocent Americans! Any American voter that votes Democrat is either unbalanced or wants to meet his maker prematurely!

[Buckeye McFrog]

GOOD! At least they are sticking to their guns on something!

I think Bush has just rope-a-doped the Libs again. He has provoked them into this gross over-reaction to a five-second clip in the middle of one ad in a five ad buy. It does not appear that it was even bought heavily (I have not seen it run as a paid commercial anywhere yet), but for every actual buy, he is getting hours and hours of cable news coverage of people talking about it. Now that it's the Libs who have opened the door on this topic, GW is free to walk through the door with both guns blasting.
Waiting to see him do it!

The three news outlets carrying water for the Democrats on this one are Agencie France Presse, The New York Daily News, and the Today Show on NBC.

Big surprise there, n'est pas?

[Savage Beast]

"'I have an obligation to those who died,' Bush said."

...and an even greater obligation to those who did not.

President Bush must intensify this message. It is essential.

What else would anyone expect of the Democrats? Of course they'll attack the President, the ads, any thing. The will do anything and say anything in their grab for power.

The American Mainstream Newsmedia--and the French, as this article shows--will aid and abet the Democrats in any way they can.

President Bush must balance Newsmedia propaganda with constant, hard hitting, truthful messages. This is part of it.
