There is a bigger picture here that needs to be seen.
Bush and his administration see it.
Bush and the coalition have done great things in the Middle East.
All one has to do is look at a map to see how his strategy is working.
Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Kuwait, Turkey, Libya, Jordan, Qatar, etc ….
The PLO, Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia are getting a little outnumbered.
Changing some of the chess pieces in this age-old battle could bring people to the table and peace to the region.

The Kerry Doctrine: Kerry's World: Father Knows Best
Good map! My oldest son served in the first Gulf War and was mostly in Qatar. The last time I talked to him, he was confused as to why we are taking so many prisoners. Although he was not in a major combat area, he said, "If they're the enemy, just shoot them so we don't have to watch all these charges of prisoner abuse".
It's so easy for Kerry and all the other 'Monday morning quarterbacks' to criticize how the military operations are being handled. And so many Democrats that can connect dots to imagine Bush caused or could have prevented the 911 attacks CAN'T seem to connect the dots between Al Qaeda- Saddam Hussein and the oil-for-food scam.
Still, one of the MSM tv channels showed a survey of voters that indicated 48% of those voting for Kerry are voting for him because he's not Bush; while only 16% of Bush voters are voting for him because he's not Kerry.
Kerry has ideas? It seems he has different promises depending on who the audience is. Bush is running for president, while Kerry seems to be running for Mr. Universe.
