Next time a repub says "Kerry has no plan," remind him of this...
Yesterday, Bush was claiming that Kerry's plan was exactly the same as his.

So what does that say about those who keep saying Kerry has no plan? Bush is so stupid he's copying nothing?

2. If you need it, here's the quote
Bush cited Kerry's four-point plan and dismissed it as proposing "exactly what we're currently doing."

And some more commentary...

Kerry said every problem in Iraq was predicted by studies, experts and administration officials. To stop further deterioration, Kerry said Bush must:

• Convene a summit of major powers and Iraq's neighbors to get them to honor financial and other commitments made in a U.N. resolution last spring. Let them bid on reconstruction contracts and help develop oil resources.

• Expand and speed up training for Iraqi security forces and stop misleading the U.S. public "with phony, inflated numbers."

• Shift post-war focus to "quick-impact" projects that employ more Iraqis and fewer corporations like Halliburton, which Vice President Cheney used to run. Fire people who mismanaged reconstruction.

• Take immediate steps to make sure elections can be held next year. The United Nations has only 25% of the staff it needs for the election, Kerry said.

1) Hasn't Bush locked out any country that wasn't there with us from the beginning?

2) Didn't the estimated number of trained security forces drop from ~210,000 to significantly less than 95,000?

3) Has anyone been fired? Anywhere? Are we hiring more Iraqis, or still just pumping all of our money into Halliburton?

4) I must have missed it. I didn't hear Bush's call for the UN to start staffing up elections supervisors today.

Could it be? No! Say it isn't so! Could Bush be a fvcking liar?
