The “begin withdrawl in 6 months” thing was a mistake by Kerry IMHO. There is no way anyone with a brain thinks that we could begin withdrawing 6 months after Kerry is elected. That was a bone to his left wing base. Both guys seem to be pretty lose with the facts…I’ve caught a few things from both that were either dead wrong or misrepresentations. Bush is getting wacked though…I wonder how much of an effect this will have in reversing the polls. -XT ---

Bush let out a “you know.” I’m a liberal, but I feel bad for Dubya. He’s getting his ass whupped, Massachusetts style. ---
