Kerry should include, in EVERY speech dealing with Iraq...


one or more not-so-subtle references to the draft-dodging and military illiteracy of both Bush and Cheney.

As an issue is is laden with emotional imagery ( good for the K-man),while at the same time speaking legitimately to the Iraq debate.

K gets to reinforce the " lack of character" issue while underscoring
his opponents' complete lack of expertise in this area ( warfare).

K's campaign has improved substantially, IMHO, over the last 10 days or so. Why the residual hand-wringing over the draft-dodging and war-dodging issue? Especially since the other side keeps bringing it ( the war in Iraq) up.

1. the PNAC plans of the 90's to attack Iraq and divide the spoils.
American big oil was already dividing up the Middle East long before Bush took over. Why isn't the PNAC plot, including the NEED for another "Pearl Harbor" to get Americans scared and pliable, ever brought up?

3. Because most people aren't "up" enough
and this sounds just "too crazy" to be true. You risk being dismissed as a loony tune..... But when they get involved and discover PNAC they totally freak out!

4. Kerry has a record of keeping his commitments.
Enough said.
