VOTE FOR KERRY IF YOU WANT A QUAGMIRE IN IRAQ
Vietnam really was a quaqmire because an overly sensitive LBJ wouldn't listen to his commanders who wanted to win the war. He didn't want to get "world opinion" mad at him. By the time Nixon was elected the "political support" to win the war was totally lost. My Vietnam Veteran buddies and I were then subject to decades of anger, frustration and ridicule as our reward for doing our duty.
Would you like to see this happen again? Then vote for John Kerry.
See how Mort Zuckerman sees this...
By Mortimer B. Zuckerman Style versus substance
George W. Bush, ahead in the polls, could get by in the first debate just by not losing. John Kerry had to change the momentum of the campaign. Bush had the advantage in that virtually all of his supporters agree with him on terrorism, while 1 of every 3 Kerry voters disagrees with him. How far did each succeed? If Bush won on substance, Kerry prevailed on style. That's why many TV viewers thought Kerry won, while many radio listeners thought Bush won. The visuals, the drama, the body language seemed to help Kerry more than they helped Bush. The cutaway shots to Bush especially were not helpful because he looked irritated. Kerry was direct, articulate, lucid, and forceful, demonstrating a command of the facts

LBJ was the most hated man in Vietnam. On both sides.
Wow. I didnt read the article but it sounds like Zuckerman is coming down hard on Kerry. He has always seemed like a reasonable sounding Dem (very rare if not an oxymoron). Is that whats going on here?
Kerry articulately stated he wants to arm Iran with nuclear fuel.
And the mullahs replied, in no uncertain terms that it was a ridiculous suggestion they want no part of.
