Edwards Goes on Offensive in Florida

KENDALL, Fla. - Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) accused President Bush (news - web sites) and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) of "using our troops as shields to protect their own jobs," hitting back at the president's claim that Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) was making wild charges about the circumstances of a cache of missing explosives in Iraq (news - web sites).

"Why did George Bush (news - web sites) take three days to finally say something about 380 tons of missing explosives?" Kerry said. "They did nothing, nothing to secure them and now they're gone. And we don't know who has them. It's possible terrorists have them."

"And, what did George Bush have to say about this? He said that John Kerry doesn't support the troops."

In a dubious voice and shaking his head, Edwards asked from his platform in the middle of supporters in a gymnasium: "Aren't we sick and tired of George Bush and Dick Cheney using our troops as shields to protect their own jobs?"

DAMN these crooks in the whitehouse..

I just can not see how any mother of any soldier that was blow up can vote for Bush.

Im really disgusted with them doing this Iraq thing, and in particular for doing it BADLY>! More people died than needed to because they wanted to go in on the cheap. Now we are paying twice as much for sure and the whole region is unstable.

DAMN THEM
