COLUMBUS, Ohio - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Thursday that Iraq’s Ayad Allawi was sent before Congress to put the “best face” on a Bush administration policy that has gone wrong.

“I think the prime minister is, obviously, contradicting his own statement of a few days ago, where he said the terrorists are pouring into the country,” Kerry said. “The prime minister and the president are here obviously to put their best face on the policy, but the fact is that the CIA estimates, the reporting, the ground operations and the troops all tell a different story.”

Kerry was referring to comments Allawi made Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” But Allawi also expressed optimism about the mission in that appearance.

“Foreign terrorists are still pouring in, and they’re trying to inflict damage on Iraq to undermine Iraq and to undermine the process, democratic process in Iraq, and, indeed, this is their last stand,” Allawi said. “So they are putting a very severe fight on Iraq. We are winning. We will continue to win. We are going to prevail.”

1. The really sad thing is ...

people need somebody to tell them this. Sigh.

2. Hey MSNBC: Kerry didn't say "cahoots"

But you do quote him as saying that Bush "skedaddled" out of New York yesterday after his UN address.

But I guess it's too much to ask that MSNBC change all at once. They have several years of whoring habits to overcome.

3. cahoots?

MSNBC's headline seems to be trying to make Kerry look like a conspiracy wacko, when all he's doing is pointing out how Allawi's speech is so politically in line with Bush.

4. I'm sure a deal was made, Kerry is on top of this in spite of his cold.
