BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - President Bush misled the country by switching his focus to Iraq instead of Osama bin Laden, Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards said on Friday, in a departure from his usual campaign focus on domestic issues.

In a speech giving more emphasis to foreign affairs, Edwards said Bush had shown "incompetence" by deciding to cut back forces in Afghanistan before capturing bin Laden in order to focus on Iraq.

"Every day we learn something new about how things are going terribly wrong in Iraq. And more details come out about how George Bush misled the country and took his focus from Osama bin Laden to go after Saddam Hussein," Edwards said at a rally at a community center in this south Florida town.

1. Edwards and Kerry have really found a narrow and very effective...

...articulation of a very complicated set of problems with the way Bush has behaved in Iraq.

They keep repeating this statement, and it's really effective.

2. Please bring the argument all the way around John. Make sure you

tell everyone it doesn't matter if October Bin Surprise shows up in the next week or so, the damage has already been done!

Don't leave your flank open for October Bin Surprise to show up and deflate your argument!

Great shot, now hammer the door shut!!

Let's try to consolidate the threads. It makes reading LBN easier, and doesn't dilute the forum.
Also, as a suggestion, so that you don't dilute the forum, post the non-political threads in another forum as a courtesy to the readers.

Posting lots of threads knocks off interesting articles our LBN readers want to see.

Thanks
