Kerry Uses Bush's Own Words to Call Him Unfit

[Rose Siding]

TOLEDO, Ohio (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) turned President Bush (news - web sites)'s own words into a weapon on Thursday and said it was the Republican incumbent who had jumped to conclusions in Iraq (news - web sites), disqualifying him from being commander in chief.
........
Bush on Wednesday accused Kerry of opportunism, saying: "A political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as commander in chief ... that is part of a pattern of a candidate who will say anything to get elected."

Kerry threw the words back at the president 24 hours later, announcing he was going "to apply the Bush standard" and declaring: "Mr. President, I agree with you."

"George Bush jumped to conclusions about 9/11 and Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)," he said. "George Bush jumped to conclusions about weapons of mass destruction and he rushed to war without a plan for the peace. George Bush jumped to conclusions about how the Iraqi people would receive our troops. He not only jumped to conclusions, he ignored the facts he was given."
