WASHINGTON - Presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) said Wednesday he does not share fellow Democrat Howard Dean (news - web sites)'s position that President Bush (news - web sites)'s decision to send troops to Iraq (news - web sites) appears to have been a factor in the Spanish train bombing.



The chairman of Bush's re-election campaign called on Kerry to repudiate the comment that Dean made during a conference call arranged by the Kerry campaign.


"The president was the one who dragged our troops to Iraq, which apparently has been a factor in the death of 200 Spaniards over the weekend," Dean said as he defended Kerry from a Bush television ad that accused Kerry of turning his back on U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq.


Asked about the comment on his campaign plane Wednesday, Kerry said, "It's not our position."

All I can say to this is "God dammit." Kerry just conceded an issue that he shouldn't have, and left Dean- and ME- out to dry. AGAIN.

Kerry needs to make the distinction between the Iraq war and the war on terror NOW- and make it clear that Bush is NOT helping the war on terror by invading countries that had no connection with Al Qaeda.
