I was gonna say, that was a barn-burner. It was exactly right, exactly what was called for. Not name-cally "W stands for Wrong", but a strong case for why the Pres was wrong.

I for one was impressed by, finally, putting it in the frame of view of the overall terror war. "Can anyone seriously say this President has handled Iraq in a way that makes us stronger in the war on terrorism?"

It was serious, it was strong, it was smart... well done.

The only problem (for me) is that I kept hearing Clinton's voice in my head while I was reading it.
Kerry hired a damn fine speechwriter; I'll have to see how the candidate did with the delivery before I'll start cheering.

you don't have hear it - just imagine a man's deep voice, then remove any inflection or hint of emotion. that should about cover it.

Bush got a lot of free passes with Gore. This time I think Kerry will press him harder.

I got a PM from another person who couldn't get through, so that makes two. I guess I'll get off my ass and find another link. Try this one.
