This looks like the same article that is in the Chicago Sun-Times.

Thanks, Pokey! This is better than the Sun-Times article.

One of the clearest expositions I've read of the incoherence of Kerry's Iraq policy. I wish I had confidence that the undecided electorate would get and understand this simple message from Steyn.

"They thought Kerry was good in the debate, just as he was good in his convention speech, because on both occasions he was tactically artful. But that's not going to cut it. We're post-Clinton: you can't triangulate your way to victory."


Thank you, Mark Steyn.

Let us not forget that while F'n was getting his nails manicured the President was out visiting with the citizens of Floriduh who had been clobbered by multiple hurricaines. While F'n has been spending his time avoiding the duties of a U.S. Senator the Commander in Chief is NEVER off the clock!

Having met him, I'm sceptical of Kerry's extraordinarily high valuation of his personal charm. But the notion that he'll be able to bring the French on board would seem to be at odds with Jean-Pierre Rafarin, the French prime minister's aside to a representative of Le Figaro the other day that "the Iraqi insurgents are our best allies". In a summit showdown between Chirac and Rafarin on the one hand and Kerry on the other, I bet on the Gallic weasels.

Speaking as a third-rate hack, I'd say that as a general rule articulacy is greatly over-rated. But, if articulacy is the measure, how come Kerry can't articulate an Iraq policy any of us can understand? By contrast, for an inarticulate man, Bush seems to communicate pretty clearly.

Steyn spares no one in this article but clearly defines the truth.

No, it's far longer than the one you posted.

I agree that this election is primal. I just think a lot of real undecideds will go into the voting booth and vote for Bush. The terror threat will hit them like a sudden sweat just as the go to vote, and they'll be afraid to vote for Kerry. They really don't know Kerry, but they do know Bush has kept us free from attack for 3 years.

Those of us who've been sweet on George W Bush for a long time have got used to these moments.

How true, but don't tell that to the Panic Brigade.

The Sun-Times article is 1074 words, the one in The Telegraph is 1094 — only a 20-word difference.
