Kerry finally comes out swinging!
From now on, this is how you do it!

Kerry Accuses Bush Of Dishonesty on Iraq



"The president has misled America about those weapons, about the intelligence, about the war," the Democratic presidential nominee said on the Don Imus show on MSNBC. "He's misled America about what we're achieving today and what is happening on the ground in Iraq."


As part of twin strikes on Bush's credibility on the war and the economy, Kerry said the president's failures in Iraq have complicated efforts to bring U.S. troops home sooner and have created large swaths of Iraq "where there are terrorists where they were not before."


Later, in a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, Kerry also took aim at Bush's domestic policy. This is "the excuse presidency," in which Bush "has blamed just about everyone but himself and his administration for America's economic problems," Kerry said.


"For four years, the Bush administration hasn't honored the truth, and it certainly has not lived up to it," he told the business executives.

2. GO JFK
Bush is vulnerable on Iraq and the accountability issue. Questions about his guard service only give the voters doubts about the GOP credo of personal accountability. This guy has misled, mismanaged and lied to America about the reasons for going to war, now he should answer. Bush seems physically incapable, for whatever psychological reason, to admit he has made a mistake.

3. He's been swinging for a while. Its a matter of getting the media to
objectively cover his swings.
