from the gut. It was the "wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time".

So, you really can't fool all the people all the time. George W. came close, getting high marks for his "war against terrorism" and for being a "war President," even though in Iraq he ended up fighting the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Oops! Too bad, we rolled craps and now more than 800 young Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis are dead. We tortured detainees, lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and gave Western democracy a huge black eye by showing how easy it was for a self-aggrandizing "war President" to hoodwink Congress and the people. One of those who was fooled was Sen. John Kerry. It is high time he showed some real, from-the-gut, anger over a president who so shamelessly led him and the nation astray. The public is onto Bush, but Kerry has to provide it an alternative by exposing the lies and deceptions that have weakened our country.
