"the U.S. military will be able to take on new commitments only if it is significantly expanded. And that probably means a draft."

Not if we develop more unmanned munitions delivery systems.

Today, Kerry claims that the only reason he voted to authorize war was to strengthen the president's hand in negotiating with Iraq.

That was yesterday, not today. Today, Kerry can claim that he supports Koffi Annan's statement that the war was illegal. That moves Kerry more to the Deaniacs, again.

Kerry still has the same problem: Move to the Deaniac anti-war wing or move toward the Lieberman moderate side.

Kerry can't placate both sides, even with all his flipflopping. Kerry needs to make a choice, stick with it, and hope the 'other' group tags along. But, Kerry won't; Kerry can't. Kerry is such a quintessential politician, he will continue to straddle all sides of every issue. He simply can't help himself; to do otherwise would require him to take a stand--something he has not had to do during his 19 years in the Senate.

You're sure right about the clear choice. If this is what the left believes, then I clearly am not one of them. Moreover, from reading this it is very clear that they do NOT belong in charge of foreign policy.

Seriously, I started to read this and was going to refute some of the points the author is trying to make, but there's just too much garbage here for me to waste my time on.

Bush was trailing badly in the women's vote, now he is up one. They want a man in the Oval Office protecting the country.

Kerry losing women's support***Of all the challenges that Democrat John Kerry faces in his presidential campaign, perhaps none is as critical as building a decisive advantage among women voters.

In the past month, the president has started whittling away at a gender gap that has long provided an essential lifeline to Democrats running for the White House. Less than seven weeks before Election Day, strategists from both parties say there are a growing number of suburban, independent-minded voters who believe Bush would do a better job securing America.

It's politically impossible for a Democrat to win the presidency without a strong majority of women. As the race tightens, Kerry is struggling to develop the double-digit margins that propelled the candidacies of Bill Clinton and even Gore.

"There are Sept. 10 people and Sept. 11 people and I'm a Sept. 11 person. It scared the life out of me," said Conway, 31. "I'm not one of those hard-core, all Republicans, all the time, but I don't believe there is another man alive that could run this country better with respect to our safety."***

Jay Bookman: (1) Libya, (2) the Libya, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, and North Korea tangle and (3) learn German and read Die Welt about Syria.

Dear Jay, your above article proves that dispersion of information should leave the "holy sanctum" of MSM and be left to the bloggers, bulletin boards and independent thinkers. We read too much in too many languages and we share our knowledge by pointing to "REAL" sources, not forged, invented or fancied. My advice to you, find another profession. I would point you in the right direction, but I don't want insult the people working those jobs. Have a wonderful. By the way the Monster Site for jobs aint too bad.

"But if Kerry truly did take Bush at his word, as he now claims, then this campaign is for naught because he is too big a fool to serve as president."

In other words, he's qualified to be president if he lied.

In other words we need Clinton/Halfbright foreign policy. Well the '90s led directly to 9-11. If we followed this appeasment policy and Atlanta was a waste land from a "dirty bomb" the writer would be feeling very morally superior.

The left is offensive.

Or, as my signature block says...

with the blood of millions on their hands.”

The contrast of those two pics is unbelieveable, isn't it? I can't imagine why anyone with a functioning brain doesn't see it so clearly, so as to know what the real choice is in November.

And I just can't imagine the left-wing wacko lib-dem trash hating America and W so much that they're blinded to the reality of what peril this Nation is in from the murderous Muslim subhumans.

Can you believe it? Once Atlanta was a Southern city with corresponding values. You go there now and you find that whereas a Southern accent is not exactly a rarity, it's not commonplace, either. I don't have any figures but I think I can say that there are a lot of "immigrants" from other states residing in that fair city.

Atlanta's media reflect this change of values. The "Atlanta Journal Constitution" truly is the "New York Times" of the South.
