If Kerry is saying Bush is directly responsible for any missing explosives (assuming that might be true which is a HUGE stretch) then Kerry is pretty much endorsing we fight in Iraq using a Vietnam--Lyndon Johnson approach of planning, strategy, direct control of what happens in the field from the White House. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to do such a thing.
All military generals will tell you they do NOT want the White House calling the shots on a micro-level. Essentially John Kerry is endorsing a Lyndon Johnson tyyp approach from the Whitehouse...one that military personnel insist is why we lost in Vietnam.
Johnson approved every strike in Viet Nam the night before!
