Bush and the GOP need to gear up campaine ads
with Kerry making his outrageous statments abotu UN control of everything. It can be juxaposed to the ABC news report of UN Oil-for Food corruption. Mabe even ask the question--"why does John Kerry want to support and give US authority to mega-crooks who starve whole populations of children for their personal greed." It will be a wonderful albatross around Kerry's neck.
