It does seem to sum up Kerry’s platform very nicely: I don’t disagree with much of anything that George Bush has done, but if you vote for me, I’ll do it better. Unless, of course, Kerry is not telling anyone what he truly believes. . . .
Just watched Wes Clark and other Dem hacks describe the defense relocation announced made today as “playing politics with America’s security”. This plan has been openly discussed for at least the last year.
Look, I expect the Dem attack whiners to claim if Bush takes a dump that “it’s a worrying political statement and the President is playing politcs with the nation’s freshhwater supply system” but I’m sick of watching the media unquestionably lap it up. Clark doesn’t even say why it’s dangerous - apparently the bare assertion is sufficient (guess this is where Miss Wood and DippyCola get their technique). This from a guy who wanted to go to war with the Russians 8 years after the Cold War ended. Hell, in Clark’s dispute with Clinton re Kosovo, I though that Clinton was in the right (shudder).
I suppose that if Bush did nothing, he’d be postponing America’s security to play politics. I really do expect this from the Dems, but I am so sick of the MSM giving the Dems their own infomercials under the rubric of “Network NEws”

With gratitude to the readers of this blog without whom my new -- and first non-fiction -- book would likely never have been written.
