Jeff'ed,

"Bush has damaged US credibility, is not a good communicator and is unable to repair that damage and we need to go in a new direction."

lets examine this a bit. I assume you are saying because we did not have a broader coalition going into Iraq that we have somehow damaged relaionships that are beneficial. The UN security council countries that did not join the colilition are France, Germany, Russia and China.

France- Documents found since the invasion essentaillly show that Sadam had been paying off the French with illegal contracts under the Un resolution. Why would France want to damage these profitable relationships by ousting Sadam.

Germany- Same thing to a lesser extent.

Russia- Same thing but with the added twist of selling arms and the Russian army training saddam troops. A bit of a conflict of interest.

China- They could care less about the Middle East and could care even less about what happens to the US. its in their best interest for us to fail.

It was clear to the simpleset of minds that thses players would not play long before the invasion. So who would Kerry build a coalition with? It all sounds good if you did not know the above which most Americans do not.

How do you repair that damage? you let time go buy and you let those players know that inspite of the games they played we will still work with them but from now on it needs to be above board. Secondly the war on terror is global. Captitlating to the enemy hurts everyone.

The truth of the matter is that GW asked the rest of the world to back up it's threats via the UN to deal with the dangers of Iraq. They blinked and he did not. The terrorist know that they will blink again they know GW and the US will not. Do you think Kerry will blink. I think you can bet on it.

2 slams in a row with out one fact or rebuttal of the evidence posted. Just like Kerry emotion with out substance reason or accountability. I know it's tough being cornered in an indefensable positon but at least post more of your conspiracies and lies it was at least entertaining.
