Denigrating our allies ...
Bush tried a few times during the debate to hang a label on Kerry as being guilty of "denigrating our allies".

Seems to me it was his administration and their lackies in the media who were denigrating our allies first. Anyone remember "Freedom Fries"? Remember all the bad-mouthing of France, Germany, Russia, and others who wouldn't just shut up and join the war?

I think it would be nice for Kerry's folks to point this out the next time Bushco bring up denigration of allies.

2. Yeah, except Bush*'s definition of 'allies'
means whoever is supporting you in your misguided attempt to invade another country today, not the country or countries who've had to go into, say, Afghanistan and clean up the mess you made there, and bailed out on without any clearly-defined progress. Which includes France and Canada.

3. Just look at what is bubbling to the surface..... truth, how refreshing...
When your own diplomats and military leaders can see through your BS... it is time to throw in the towel, take what money you can and get. It's been fun george... but it hasn't been that much fun.

George Soros, the billionaire investor and philanthropist, is beginning a nationwide tour this week to talk about how the war in Iraq is making America less safe -- and why President Bush should not be re-elected.
