Heinz Kerry assails Bush policies

[cal04]

Teresa Heinz Kerry blasted President Bush's conduct of the war on terror and touted her husband's plans for health care and education in a speech last night to Westmoreland County Democrats.

On 9/12 every single newspaper in the world said 'We are all Americans.' Today it is not the case," she said. By sending American troops to Iraq instead of to Afghanistan, Bush permitted Osama bin Laden to escape, Heinz Kerry said.

"Osama bin Laden is Osama been lost," she said.
"The Taliban is back running Afghanistan," Heinz Kerry said.
Iraq under Saddam Hussein was not a hotbed on terrorism, but it is now, she said."No American boy or girl should lose their lives for oil," she said.

Americans need to think of security in broader terms than bombs and terror, Heinz Kerry said. "Seldom do we think of security in terms of one's job, one's health care benefits, education," she said.

2. If all goes well,

THK will be the classiest, most intellectual, most worldly, most sophisticated, most compassionate, first lady since Jackie.

She's really impressive. Then again, anything would be impressive next to the current holder of that position.

5. She's great!

So sad we have had such a poor role model for young women in the past four years with Laura Bush as First Lady. It will be refreshing to have Teresa Heinz-Kerry as a role model.
