"I borrowed quite liberally....."
Naturally.
Just another example of the press not doing their job of checking the facts. I watched various news coverage following W's speech yesterday. An MSNBC talking head asked a guest if Kerry ever really called the coalition "coerced and bribed." The guest said he did not believe that was true and they just took his word for it. A simple Google search would have provided them with many sources of the quote. Lazy and biased.
The dumbest thing about that Kerry statement is that nowadays he is implying that the way he would get the allies on board in Iraq is by coercing and bribing them -- what else is saying, "What do you need" to France, Germany and Russia like he suggested in the first debate?
