Kerry Opens W. House Bid Slamming Bush As ‘Radical’
Riyhad Daily


Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry on Tuesday slammed US President George W. Bush’s foreign policy as radical swagger, saying his rush to war with Iraq had left the United States isolated and less safe. ---

"I reject George Bush’s radical new vision ... that turns its back on the very alliances we helped create and the very principles that have made our nation a model to the world for over two centuries."
Although Kerry voted for the US-led invasion of Iraq, he lambasted Bush for a "rush to war" with no plan to win the peace. Critics have accused the senator of rationalizing his vote by trying to have it both ways.
"An international policy where we stand almost alone is wrong for America," Kerry said. "If I am president, I will never forget that even a nation as powerful as the United States needs to make some friends in the world."

But Kerry did not mention Dean or any of his seven other Democratic opponents. Instead, he focused on Bush and two of his top officials, calling Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, arrogant in their dealings with the United Nations. ---


We are going to change history -- we're going to have a ton of fun doing it.

2. Kerry has been getting attention all day.
He has been leading the news, with Dean only getting a passing mention. CBS lead the news with Kerry's announcement. CBS chose to talk about Kerry's new wardrobe and even gave a passing mention a "certain female senator who is also roomed to be making a bid" as Kerry's biggest problems. Absolutely no issues were disguised. And that which they chose to echo from Kerry, was little more than hollow rhetoric.

They are scared of Dean, so they are actively trying to build Kerry up because they know Kerry can't beat Bush. If Kerry things he will win support by hurling epithets at Bush, than he still doesn’t get it.
