When kerry says we gave up chasing osama to go to iraq, we need to remember that osama and company fled to Pakistan. It follows from Kerry's argument that we should have chased him right on into Pakistan. This would have played right into the radicals hands and likely have led to musharef's overthrow. Then we have a nuke country with radicals in charge. How smart is that?
Kerry says the tax cut was dumb. We were in a dangerous economic position with the bursting of the dot com bubble and 911. No fiscal stimulus and we risk a 1929-1930 style downward spiral. How would a depression make America stronger?
Kerry's arguments will be rebutted around the kitchen table.
Not to mention that Osama (or at least his dead corpse) escaped in December 2001, a full year before we started building up for Operation Iraqi Freedom.

It wouldn't, but it would make gubmint stronger (see automatic weapons ban, Social Security).
