Bush Throws Down The Gauntlet

(CBS/AP) President Bush has drawn a line in the sand.

Mr. Bush's hard-hitting speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. on Wednesday made his strategy for the remainder of the campaign crystal clear: a rousing, no-retreat defense of the Iraq war and a harsh critique of John Kerry that focuses on his Democratic rival's perceived weaknesses on both foreign and domestic issues.

"You can't win a war you don't believe in fighting," Mr. Bush said. "In Iraq, Senator Kerry has a strategy of retreat."

Kerry has pressed the president to acknowledge that errors were made in Iraq, but Mr. Bush's speech signaled that he will mount an uncompromising defense of the administration's Iraq policy in the closing days of the campaign.

The speech bristled with new zingers that laid out in harsh and personal terms why Mr. Bush thinks Kerry is unfit to be commander in chief. On the domestic front, the president relied on a classic conservative rhetoric to paint Kerry as a tax-and-spend liberal.
