Kerry Turns Tables on Bush and Cheney Over War Records
And they're whining...STOP the ATTACKS!!!



"I think a lot of veterans are going to be very angry at a president who can't account for his own service in the National Guard — and a vice president who got every deferment in the world and decided he had better things to do — criticizing somebody who fought for their country and served," Mr. Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, told a reporter for The Dayton Daily News. "I think it's inappropriate."

<snip>

Mr. Kerry declared: "I've defended our nation. I'm prepared to stand up and defend it as president and forever."

<snip>

The White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, denounced the National Guard comments as a "political attack" even as he juggled questions over the medals controversy and the fallout from Mr. Cheney's highly politicized speech on Monday at Westminster College. Dismayed at some of Mr. Cheney's rhetoric, the president of the college, in Fulton, Mo., has arranged for Mr. Kerry to visit his campus on Friday.

4. The Moment of Truth
It was a great speech at Westminster...Kerry showed what a class act he is.

Down the road I'm picturing Kerry giving a speech as good as Clintons "A Town Called Hope"
