September Will be Our Month
and October, too.

On September 14th, the book "The Family" by Kitty Kelly will come out. If dirt is the essence of this campaign, the wind will shift in a more southernly direction, toward Texas rather than from Texas.

When we finally get to issues, our guy (Kerry, by the way, is "Our Guy, whether you like him or not: and I happen to like him) will eat Bush's lunch.

Already there is Halliburton talk. I hope they use this line . "In any war, one of the most despicable acts a citizen can commit, is war profiteering. While the Vice-President is still receiving compensation from his prior employer, Halliburton Inc., they have systematically overcharged this country for their services in Iraq while doing so after securing no-bid contracts".

I wish this administration could keep us up to date on who the enemy is in Iraq. First, the culprits in Fallujah were going to be brought to justice by our men. Then, just when it seemed that would be accomplished, we pulled back and let some sort of hybrid fighting force do the dirty work, only to find out latter that they were fighting against us, and their commander was sacked.

Chalabi was a respected and trusted exile being groomed for a leadership position, then he was a traitor to his people and ours for endangering American lives by consorting with our arch enemy, Iran. Now, he's back in favor and is part of the Iraqi puppet Parliament.

al-Sadr was a rogue and a thug, who must be "captured or killed". Now, he is invited into the Iraqi government with amnesty for himself and his militia for killing Americans in Najif.

I can't keep up with who the f**k is on our side, and who's not, or what we're trying to accomplish. A democracy anywhere in that region, in any nation other than Israel, will produce an anti-American government. If that wasn't the case, why did we need al-Sistani to save our beacon in Najif?

If Kerry can't take these confusing positions from the Bush Administration and package them in such a way to hang them around Bush and Cheney's neck, he doesn't deserve to win.

4. Kerry should point out that Bush doesn't seem to know
who is on our side and who is not also, which shows he is no leader and is easily confused because he trusts/pays the wrong people for information. Another gross failure on Bush's part. He should also point Bush's attention span is a little short when it comes to who is either for or against in almost all situations. Dealing with the enemy and friends of the US just doesn't seem to be Bush's "thang".
