Because [Kerry] thought he would be appearing on a program on a day the Iraqi elections had failed, that the insurgents had won, and he would be able to celebrate the defeat of the George Bush policy on Meet the Press yesterday. That's why Kerry booked it, and that's why when it didn't go that way he ended up saying some of the stupidest, dumbest things that remind everybody in this country why we are damn lucky he did not win the election and is not president today.
The president's plan has never changed and it's working as it unfolds before our very eyes.
