Regarding GWB’s new ad, I agree with Political Wire when I say “touch?“. Here’s the script :

John Kerry:

“It was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when the President made the decision I supported him.”

“I don’t believe the President took us to war as he should have.”

“The winning of the war was brilliant.”

“It’s the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.”

“I have always said we may yet even find weapons of mass destruction.”

“I actually did vote for the 87 billion dollars before I voted against it.”

Graphic:

How can John Kerry protect us?

?when he doesn’t even know where he stands?

Of course, this ad doesn’t mean the Kerry campaign can’t cherry-pick a bunch of Bush quotes to make the same point :

George W. Bush :

“We are in a war on global terror, and because of you, we’re winning the war on global terror.”

“I don?t think you can win it. But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world”

“We will tear down the apparatus of terror, and we will help build a new Iraq that is prosperous and free.”

“I don’t think our troops ought to be used for what’s called ‘nation building.’”

“America and the world are safer because Saddam Hussein sits in a prison cell”

“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”

“I’m a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign-policy matters with war on my mind.”

“Nobody wants to be the war president. I want to be the peace president.”

Graphic:

“President Bush has two faces…

is either one telling the truth?.”

Flip, flop, flip, flop, flip, flop….
