How Kerry can win this campaign ! Call Bush on Iran and PNAC!
Edited on Sat Aug-28-04 10:41 PM by mzmolly
He needs to call Bush on his plan to go into Iran. The writing is on the wall, and Kerry needs to sieze this moment.

He needs to talk about PNAC. He needs to show the evidence that Bush is not done with his war agenda.

If he does this, he can distance himself from Bush, in a way that will resonate with Americans who are weary of more war. And, I suspect MOST Americans are not happy with the thought of another war in the Mid East. :(

1. I agree with you 100%.

I think if Kerry can show the country Dubya's war agenda, then they'll (hopefully) think twice before voting for Bush.

2. Kerry needs to make this a choice between PNAC and reason.
All the arrows are pointing to a war with Iran and then Syria, just as the PNAC agenda describes.

Kerry has a chance to show the populace that he's forthright and that he differs greatly from Bush on foreign policy.

3. How would Kerry support such an accusation?

4. He can plant seeds, ask Bush point blank. Today we flew 5 US fighter jets
over Iranian airspace to test the waters ... Bush has been leaking stories like ... Iran is in possession of WMD's ... PNAC has a website describing their agenda. Half of Bush's cabinet are original authors of the PNAC.

I think Kerry could start dropping some lines to this effect. I think he could mention this in the debates for example.

He should say something like: Americans have a choice between a man who supports foreign policy based on PNAC, or myself who supports an intelligent foreign policy, based on evidence and strength, not on ideology or ???

And, if Kerry doesn't want to come out with it, we best take a page out of Rove's play book and slap up a 527 ad to tell the story, cause this is some serious shit, and you can bet it's going down.

As it is now, Bush and Kerry are seen as "alike" on Iraq, like it or not. But we can define that the future agenda of these two men GREATLY DIFFERS in terms of foreign and domestic policy.
