I thought it would be fun to go to a translation site, have this translated to German and then back to English. Here is the result. It actually makes much more sense than the original.
==========================================

The campaign of the senator John F. Kerry seems imploded. With nearly two months STATE PRESIDENT left George W. Bush, in order to win a choice, in that, its extraordinary recording of the domestic and international loss to have been given, he certainly defeated should before the praesidentenwahl on November 2, poised.

Opposite to the conventional intelligence in the American means, Kerry does not stand at the edge of the loss because of the republican attacks against it, but because of its own incomprehensible strategic Blunders. This is not to say that the greatly dishonest television campaign, which does not doubt wrongly the Viet Nam war recording Kerrys - propelled "fast boat of the group of shrub campaign front sides preposterously for truth", mentioned by veteran one thinly veiled - an effect had.

Such negative advertising, particularly if the lie, which is explained, is so substantial that the public cannot introduce itself nobody, brazen to be enough to invent it from complete cloth has a proven recording in the American policy. But democrats preserve and have indeed, back effectively fought against these loadings, and those most voter are not on interested Viet Nam in connection standing expenditures 35-year-old particularly.

Shining produced however infamous republican national convention was certainly many more impressively than the democratic meeting some weeks early. It played well to the taking part lower surface, but thundering the selfhating democrat senator cell Miller, the substantial loudspeaker, was not the material, which turns elections. Compared with Kerrys own strategic Fehlberechnungn, the republicans were a small problem for the democratic candidate. Which really arose during Augustes, which shifted crucially the Momentum in favor of the president, Kerrys was own unfathomable decision for leaving, in order to bepflanzen the main expenditure with shrubs, on this campaign and the recording of the office holder, is judged: the war in the Iraq.

Before August shrubs on the Iraq were unbelievably hurtable. A majority American regard the war, a error be be, strengthen resistance to occupation, and practical each confess too, that the two reason, which the line for the invasion - possession the Iraq the weapon the destruction and the accept alliance between the regime of Saddam Hussein and aluminium-Qaeda - base complete on deception give, or be illusory.

The Hammern of the shrubs on this badly advised adventure must be because of the heart of each successful challenge of its recording. The difficulty is that Kerry for the dissolution of senate selected, which gives the authorization to the line, in order to spend strength in the Iraq. However Kerry could have used its own voice, in order to emphasize the degree, for that the line existing intelligence misrepresent the Iraq as threat into the United States manipulated, exaggerated and falsified. It would know the expenditure of its voice for a war, which it criticized and now, instead of to permit to have taken that he is used of Republicans as proof of its fickleness and inconsistency, it formed it the center piece of an attack on that deceptiveness or for inability line.

Kerry should have spent the August repeating: "Mr. Bush, I selected for this dissolution on the basis of, which you and its untergebenen the congress explained and to the country. We know now that the information, which gave you to us was wrong. Mr. Bush, if you could do it, was intentionally wrong, you betrog us all. If you did not know, then you and your crew are incompetent in the oversize, and you must before you Blunder your way into further fatal and not necessary conflicts enter. Mr. Bush, are you either a liar or a fool, and thousands of people are died as consequence ", Kerry, instead of attaching, this kind of the strong offensive at the Blundering into the Iraq, made fateful the error of the expenditure in reality completely grant.

With numerous opportunities in August, admitted democratic candidate that, if he knew then, what now he knows he calmly for the dissolution of war authorization would have selected. However that was supplied with coup de grace by Kerrys to unqualified wortfuehrer James ruby of the strange policy, to which the press it explained that the candidate would have "most likely" the penetrated Iraq.

Ruby explained later that it should have most likely never said "the cliche ' '", which is crew Kerry completely in its gnarled inconsistantnesses on the Iraq, like a bull complicated becomes, that in the razor line is included - each effort to extricate included it only more firmly when opening the fresh wounds.

Not capable, shrubs on the main expenditure of the campaign, Kerry will successfully engage themselves now will try of shifting the debate away from the expenditures for public security on a domestic agenda under the column: "a stronger America catches at home." on, most involved over economic expenditures, the democrats, a serious fight have to not above set a building on those public opinion polls, which show Americans, decided over the Iraq, but to try, the choice over jobs to form. This is cowardly, unprincipled and a nearly determined prescription for defeat.

Since there are at least two main debates transferred in the television before selecting November, Kerry has any opportunity to climb from the formidable drilling which he dug for. But the familiar departments between democrats and republicans on economic policy and the extraordinary incoherence and the contradictions Kerrys of the expressions of the strange policy given, even as arms more debater than shrubs in the situation its are to hold at least its.

There was a disturbing whiff of demagoguery over republican national convention, but mocking "from the flip-flop, flip-flop, perfectly marked Kerrys sings flip-flop" more politically even immolation on changes from the Iraq. Hussein Ibish is Washingtonkorrespondent of the DAILY STAR

I agree with you about Bush being a great debater. Only the LSM thought that Gore beat him in 2000.

The Bush camp has talked with Governor Weld (Kerry's opponent in 1996). Weld said that Kerry's a formidable debater and to watch out because Kerry will say anything to win.

Which I am sure came as no surprise to Rove.

Kerry should have spent August repeating [the lie]: "Mr. Bush, I voted for that resolution on the basis of what you and your subordinates were telling the Congress and the country. We now know that the information you gave us was false. Mr. Bush, if you knew it was false, you deliberately deceived us all. If you did not know, then you and your team are incompetent in the extreme, and you must go before you blunder your way into further disastrous and unnecessary conflicts. Mr. Bush, you are either a liar or a fool, and thousands of people have died as a consequence."

Kerry, instead of mounting this kind of vigorous offensive [of lies] on the blundering in Iraq, made the fateful error of, in effect, conceding the issue entirely. On numerous occasions in August, the Democratic candidate confessed that if he knew then what he knows now, he would still have voted for the war authorization resolution.

Interesting strategy...I think that's the one John Dean used, if I remember correctly (President Bush LIED to us!!!!!)...look how far it got him...
