[Former Military Chick]

Might have been fun to be a fly on the wall for this stump speech.

"he still has time to change his position"--and more than once.

[what's up]

There was no talk of disputes Tuesday.

I was worried that Bush was going to promise McCain that he would comment negatively on the Swiftees in exchange for McCain's continued support.

But since Bush has let the issue ride the last few days it looks like Bush might be going to let the Swiftees have their say. Good.

McCain called on the White House to repudiate an ad that accused Kerry of lying about his decorated military record in Vietnam. The White House declined.

I saw McClellan denounce the ad and the 527 groups myself. Why is CBS lying about this? Oh...

Mr. Bush added sarcastically that Kerry still had time to change his position: "There are still 84 days left in the campaign."

Sarcasm it may be, but I'd be willing to lay a healthy bet that Kerry will in fact change his position on Iraq at least once in the next 84 days.

Sure Kerry would have gone to war in Iraq; Bush needs to keep 'clarifying' what 'going to war' means for Kerry and what it means for the United States.

. . .and what it means for the United Nations and 'the profit driven - at anyone's expense; save their own' who are the movers and shakers of the UN.

Does there seem to be a really snarky undertone to this article, or is it just me?

[bayourod]

"that Mr. Bush was defending the shores of Texas from invasion. "

And he did a damn good job of it. How many planes did McCain down? Five wasn't it? But they were all American. America's first reverse Ace.

=== "After months of questioning my motives and even my credibility, Sen. Kerry now agrees with me."



The Democratic convention was one extended pro-war rally.

I think they're hopeful the Dysgenics will enlist and save either head of hydra the headache of instituting a draft.

[ride the whirlwind]

Kerry charged the president with flip-flopping on the issue, first opposing and now supporting creation of the repository in Nevada. Republicans have leveled the same charge against Kerry

Imagine that! The flip-flopper in chief accusing GWB of the same. Ha! And when the article uses the terms "mocked", "assailed", and "sarcastically", it certainly does sound snarky.

[Normal4me]

"But Kerry says those were procedural votes, and when the real votes were taken he opposed the project."

Kerry's life in one sentence. Where do you want to store it Senator? Or are you going to tell us after if you are elected.

Kerry also said Monday that he hoped to begin reducing the number of U.S. forces in Iraq within six months of taking office if he is elected. "It is an appropriate goal to have," he said, but added that achieving it would depend on broader international assistance, better stability within Iraq and other related factors.

This is a crazy statement to make. The enemy can just lay low for 6 mos. if he is elected. Then they can have the place back.
