Kerry has Bush on the ropes: "dodging and bobbing and weaving"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

President Bush (search) and John Kerry (search) sparred once again Wednesday on the issue of a huge cache of explosives that has disappeared in Iraq.

The barbs came as Bush made his most formal, extended appeal to Democrats as he toured the Rust Belt and his Democratic challenger focused on the economy during stops in Iowa and Minnesota with less than one week to go until Election Day.

Kerry accused Bush on Wednesday of "dodging and bobbing and weaving" on explanations for nearly 400 tons of missing explosives in Iraq.

"The missing explosives could very likely be in the hands of terrorists and insurgents, who are actually attacking our forces now 80 times a day on average," Kerry said earlier at a rally in Sioux City. "But now today we've learned even more. What we're seeing is a White House that is dodging and bobbing and weaving in their usual efforts to avoid responsibility, just as they've done every step of the way in our involvement in Iraq." Kerry said Vice President Dick Cheney "is becoming the chief minister of disinformation" while the president remains silent on the matter.

2. Bush_Eats_Beef I need info on that photo, looks like he was Gov.

at the time. Was he really flying the bird, or was that just a chance frame while making some other hand gesture.

The reason is I have two christian friends that are voting for Bush soley on moral issues, they believe he is a good christian.

This would reallymake their jaws drop. Because he is obviously not picking his nose. Thanks RR.

3. Missing explosives

Why wasn't the base bombed during the shock and awe? All those sites should have been bombed.

4. The photo came from the video clip in bigskydem's post today:

He flipped the bird. Go to the thread above and watch the clip, it was no accident, and he jokes about it being a "one fingered victory salute."

This is the Web Site hosting the video file (Texans For Truth)...you might find more background there:

8. Apparently it was some kind of aircheck in a tv studio towards the end

of his time as governor. Freeps are claiming he was just horsing around when somebody told him to fix his hair and this is the kind of thing Middle America will see as reinforcing his image as just a regular guy. I think they're deluded, but can't say I'm too worried about it.

Please let us know if the video has any effect on your friends' votes/ opinions.
