NASHVILLE, Tenn. - John Kerry (news - web sites) said Wednesday that terrorists have gained new havens and "extremism has gained momentum" in Iraq (news - web sites) because President Bush (news - web sites) has mishandled virtually every step of the war.

Our differences could not be plainer, and I have set them out consistently," the Democratic presidential candidate told veterans at the American Legion national convention. "When it comes to Iraq, it's not that I would have done one thing differently, I would have done everything differently."


Kerry delivered his critical assessment of the administration's performance in Iraq as the GOP mustered in New York City to nominate Bush to a second term. Challengers typically refrain from major campaigning during the other party's nominating convention.


Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran and Legionnaire, said Bush's actions before and after U.S. military operations have failed to make Iraq a safe and stable place.

------------------------------

Kerry is now definitely near hitting on the winning strategy of attacking Bush's diversion from the war on terror in invading Iraq. This is great news.

Just push it a teensy little bit farther, Kerry...you've almost got it. :)

The neocons are a national security disaster, and by primping
themselves in to a massive lie to obscure the truth, they are on
very weak ground.

It is a boxing stomach punch. It is not glorious, but it wears
down the opponent and ultimately wins the match.

Bush should give a speech on top of all the coffins of dead GI's
he's killed. Kerry is right to call that shitty man a fraud.
