1 Sounds like a good time to put together another ad by the Bush team! (Hopefully, they can find the video of it though.)

2 It's hard to argue with someone who takes every side of an issue.

3 Hard to respect him too.

4 Instapundit's linking to bloggers who think this might be a fake quote. I suppose one could reply that, like the Bush documents, the quote might be fake but they remain true in spirit...? Kevin

5 Whoops-- "they remain" should read "it remains." Damn. There go my haiku contest prospects. Kevin

6 Let Ralph debate!

7 I must agree with the previous responders. My question is, why were Britain (as someone we can't count on) and Saudi Arabia (danger obviously) not included in that comment? I guess a fortune teller does not a politician make.

9 Rah-bert, "What a wonderful country Bush has turned Halliburton subsidiary Iraq into." I could say the same thing about Clinton's operations in the Balkans, could you? After all, Clinton did give Halliburton no-bid contracts there as well. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/richlowry/rl20030918.shtml Thanks for the link, Moxie. "A dismal place where xenophobia abounds and non-white people are guilty until proven innocent." If I'm not mistaken, the Iraqis aren't white, but dark-skinned like the Syrians. You have proven your ignorance by confusing Arabic Iraqis with white Klansmen here. What the hell were those Syrians doing there at a small Iraqi town in the middle of nowhere then? Tourism instead of terrorism? "Or what the occupiers did to them in a windowless room." You didn't give a shit about what happened in Abu Ghraib for decades when Saddam was in control of Iraq, but you get outraged now when some Americans use harsh or humiliating methods against captured terrorists that have been killing Iraqis as well as our troops. "Ameri-con" Go toss Tom Green's salad.

10 sorry Reagan80. i've decided to institute a zero tolerance for Mclellan policy. But i didn't discover his comment until after you commented.

11 Your story is not so false. Tom Bevan at RealClearPolitics.com has Kerry's actual speech on his website and has refered to it several times in the past.
