Yet, while Kerry sits tongue-tied, Bush sallies forth to new oratorical heights. Having brilliantly fused 9/11 into Afghanistan into Iraq, the president now seeks a mandate to change the world. Americans, he said on Thursday, have received "a calling from beyond the stars to stand for freedom." That's heady stuff; delegates in Madison Square Garden loved it.

But does the Bush record of nation-building and democracy-fostering in Afghanistan and Iraq justify a further ambitious agenda for the planet? Are the Palestinians, the Russians and the Chinese - to name just three more hard cases - really going to board Bush's freedom train? And if not, what will we do? Those are good questions, but Kerry is not the man to ask them.

I think this says it all

The Massachusetts man's most recent attempt at a soundbite was, "I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for duty." After the Swift boat attack, we're not going to hear that one any more

Don't count on it.

Proverbs 26:11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit Is a fool who repeats his folly.

In fact, Bush seems to control all the high rhetorical ground this year

But, but, how can that be?? Bush is so clumsy with the language ...

Seriously, Bush is now using the catch phrase "And you know where I stand on that" and that's the best one I've heard since "Where's the Beef?"

To say nothing of "Girlie Men".

Bush's stands clear, Kerry's murky

"That's 'nuanced.' I'm NUANCED!"

I think one of the big reasons the socialist/nazi left is against Bush is because he has done something unthinkable ... challenged the advice & counsel of the State Department!

He looked at 100 years of failed diplomacy and recognized that due to laws passed by Congress, he could not fire his counselors, ie. the careerists in the Dept of State. So, he had but one choice. Play to their game (negotiate), then proceed with his plan (war).

He went to Congress and received authorization to prosecute a war against terror (Islamofacists). He went to the U.N. and received authorization to prosecute Saddam. (He didn't need it, since Saddam was in violation of the 1991 cease fire. But the entrenched intelligentsia just ignored agreements for their irresponsible policies.)

When he wins in November, the question will be asked in Capitals around the World, "Who is next?". True, Iraq is a tremendous drain on our Treasury. But what did 9/11 cost, $1 Trillion? That is $1 Trillion that changed America and not the world. The next $1 Trillion should change the world.

Syria, Iran, Sudan, N. Korea; where will the wake-up call come?
