will continue to slam Fred’s campaign until he turns it around and makes it about national security and his immaculate credentials.

You are all wrong here. Just go to http://www.fred08.com/ and watch "Fred's message to Iowa voters". It's the first subject he touches on.

[counterpunch]

I’ve watched his message to Iowa voters. All 17 minutes of it. It took him 8 minutes before he got around to talking about national security, or much of anything.

Hillary Clinton’s message to Iowa voters was 2 minutes. She was focused and direct, compact. She hit all of her points hard. That’s the way it should be done. Fred’s in unfocused, rambling. He really didn’t make any attempt to drive home his experience as chairman on any of these national security committees.
