Idea for Kerry: post all 23 reasons Bush gave for Iraq war on one webpage
and give out the address during the debate, while answering the inevitable Iraq-flip-flop question.

For example, Kerry could say "A catalogue of the 23 excuses President Bush has made at various times to justify his Iraq war can be found at www.JohnKerry.com/quagmire. Check it out.".

Here's another suggestion:

About language, Kerry should always use "his" war, instead of "the" war or "our" war, "he" instead of "we" (i.e.; "he" invaded Iraq, instead of "we" invaded Iraq)... in other waords, Kerry should always personalize references to the war so that (implied) responsibility for the war is not deflected or distributed to anyone else- or anywhere else. Bush OWNS this war.

I started building it. We're into 34+ now on the excuses. It needs to be cleaned up and all the excuses cited to sources.

The reasons came from http://www.pol.uiuc.edu/news/largio.htm but that's too much for 99.9% of the populace to read through. We need to condense it into a tight list of a sentence each plus citation links.
