Bush's Leni Reifenstahl Moment
No doubt, we'll see this little soiree in future campaign ads.
On Thursday, Mr. Bush will travel to Fort Campbell, Ky., for a speech before what the White House said would be 20,000 troops and their families. He plans to thank them for their sacrifices in Iraq and Afghanistan and to point to the progress being made in both nations.

In the same article there is a statement Kerry gave on ABC:
“Mr. Kerry, speaking for the first time about the Spanish election, told the ABC network affiliate in Phoenix on Tuesday: "In my judgment, the new prime minister should not have decided that he was going to pull out of Iraq. He should have said this, This increases our determination to get the job done."
This emphasizes that your main man doesn’t get it or doesn’t want to, and I’m afraid you don’t either. We’re (me being Dutch) in Iraq for the *wrong reasons*. The new Spanish Prime Minister is keeping a campaign promise and is not pulling out the troops because of the terror attacks. He also said that if the US decides to let the United Nations command the effort to stabilize Iraq, Spain would probably be in. Why is Kerry distorting the truth?

Distorting the truth? Looks more like a difference of opinion to me.
I get it just fine, Fred.

The war in Iraq, when it started, didn't have anything to do with this American bred terrorism that has now so sadly occurred in Spain. Most of Spain was against the US Empire's war from the start. If Kerry's honest he should stick to the facts, but, since he's from a different branch of the same BigAmerican party, he obviously now shares the view that you're in Iraq fighting terrorism. That's sick. He should back a UN controlled clean up of Iraq after the US messed it up Big Time over there. He should support the Spain point of view if he's a real liberal. But he's distorting the truth to make it seem Spain is pulling out because of terrorism and he, as did Clinton, only wants this war on terrorism to continue. It's the way US foreign policy seems to operate, as it did for the last 50 plus years. At least NOFX, you know them, got it right:
You can't believe the things you see and read
The Soviet threat
Our pseudo enemy
What's scaring me?
Our foreign policy
To make the world safe for business
Call it democracy
Today the word 'Soviet' has been replaced by 'Terrorist'.
