US President George W. Bush's campaign chief has accused Democratic White House challenger John Kerry of playing into terrorists' hands by being pessimistic on Iraq. "John Kerry's pessimism, shifting positions and lack of resolve will not win the fight against the terrorists. His campaign has demonstrated again that it has nothing to offer but attacks on the president's agenda for creating a safer world," Ken Mehlman said in a statement out Saturday.
"On the eve of (Iraqi) Prime Minister (Iyad) Allawi's visit to the United States, John Kerry's military adviser is preaching defeat and suggesting retreat in Iraq. Such a withdrawal would be a victory for the terrorists and a defeat for freedom everywhere," the statement added.
"John Kerry must explain if this is his new position on Iraq," Mehlman said.
Kerry, in turn, has accused Bush of hiding a plan aimed at calling up reservists to serve in Iraq until just after the November 2 presidential vote.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Friday that "it's just another baseless attack from Senator Kerry. He's struggling to explain his incoherent positions on Iraq, and just engaging in baseless attacks."

fyi
The whitehouse is calling Kerry out!

Zebras do not change their stripes once a Traitor always a traitor and now just a lackey for the Islamic Liberals.
The Tet Offensive of 1968 was in part timed to affect the
US elections, and was encouraged by the anti-war sentiment
here (and Kerry had nothing to do with it, as he was on
the Gridley at the time).
However, Kerry's drunken driving on his proposed policies
(assuming he has any clue what they might be) are giving
the same sort of encouragement to the cutthroat cultists
and their allies in the Baathist dead-ender community.
If Kerry had a nanogram of honor and intelligence, he
would act more like Dewey did in 1944 (not challenge
the incumbent on war policy). Alternatively, Kerry
could elucidate a detailed winning strategy for both
Iraq and the WOT. Fat chance.
Kerry is getting people killed, again, as he did in
the 1970s. He needs to be called on it.
And what else is new.
A traitor never changes his spots.
The troops understand this-especially those in Iraq.
My son and his men understand this.
As I understood Kerry during the Vietnam war.
Kerry should be prosecuted for treason during two wars.
Now in 2004 he is a traitorous POS!
John Kerry is not just a traitor, he's a serial traitor!
In Vietnam he worked hard to snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory
Then he did the same in Nicuragua
And given the chance, he'd do it in Iraq...
John Kerry's stupid, self-serving rhetoric is aiding and abetting the enemy today. He is causing the loss of American lives in Afghanistan and Iraq every time he encourages the terrorists to strike our troops.
It was the Old Media elitists and Hollywood misfits with the "blame America first and every-time for everything" philosophy that were the wound.
Fast Forward to 2004
It was the Old Media elitists and Hollywood misfits with the "blame America first and every-time for everything" that were trying again to wound our proud and brave.
John just keeps saying and doing what he knows best.
Ah the smell of toast on a November morning.
Kerry is a blatant anti-American. And he expects Americans to vote for him? After Bush wins the election the terrorist attacks on our soldiers will lessen. Until Bush is elected, Kerry continues to endanger our soldiers and encourage their enemies.
Exactly why the MSM will bury this statement so the sheeple never hear it.
I heard it! You did too! Spread the word
The somebitch is putting our soldiers in harms way again!
Encouraging the enemy
Too Late it's not just channel 2-4-5-7-9-11 any more!
Bingo!
I cant believe the "you are losing" speech Kerry gave the National Guard!
John Kerry, IslamoCommunist POS...the number of American's blood on his hands is getting staggering.
Yep. Evidently being a traitor is now covered by the First Amendment...and has been since 1971.
