Every time Kerry talks about what was not done it Iraq it is a direct hit on the military. The President does not run day to day operations in the war and for Kerry to intone that it undermines our great military.
- Why did they not find out about this earlier?
- If the site was not guarded, was it because they checked the site sometime during the war and concluded it was empty?
- Why did they let NYT break with the story?
Right now I do not think this will harm President's re-election efforts, but I would be surprised if Kerry campaign didn't spin some new related talking points.
