Kerry demands 'explanation' from Bush

April 13, 2004 | PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Tuesday demanded a "specific explanation" from President Bush about how his prosecution of the war will lead to a shared goal of a stable Iraq.

"The last several weeks have made it even clearer to Americans than it was before that this mission is not only not accomplished, it is more challenged than perhaps at any time," Kerry said.

Speaking during a fund-raising lunch, Kerry toughened his criticism of Bush, pointing to the president's scheduled news conference Tuesday night against a backdrop of rising violence in Iraq. He said Bush likely will deal with "the instability in Iraq" in the rare prime-time televised meeting with reporters and pressed Bush for specifics.

"I believe it is important for the president to not just share with all Americans what we all believe. We know we must succeed, we know we are committed to having a stable Iraq," he said. "The president owes Americans a specific explanation of exactly how we are going to achieve that."
