'I want to win the war on terror'

Kerry says Bush making America 'less secure'

Democratic Sen. John Kerry says the man who beat him in the 2004 presidential election, Republican President George W. Bush, has blundered badly while in office.

"Every mistake in the book that could be made, this administration has made," the senator from Massachusetts said Friday at South Carolina State University.

As a result, Iraq is embroiled in a "civil war," North Korea has enlarged its nuclear weapon capability and America has seen the return of a "segregated school system," Kerry said.

...

Kerry was the keynote speaker at a get-out-the-vote rally sponsored by the university's Young Democrats Club.

Present at the event was the Rev. David Alston, who served with Kerry on a swiftboat during the Vietnam War.

He really needs to let the Cheney joke go. I think the shelf life of that one has expired.

Other than that, this is some fantastic coverage.

1. Great report

Probably get some more and pics by Ted on the Kerry blog tomorrow.

So glad that David Alston was there, he has such a wonderful bond with his brothers.

Love this line:

"The president was on ABC-TV doing an interview with (George) Stephanopolous. He compared Iraq to Vietnam. How the hell does he know?"

I'm hoping Ted got some video of this, the video in Michigan was great. I know that Cheney joke is old, but the people in Michigan seemed to like it.

2. Maybe the joke is only old

to those of us who have heard it a brazillon times. :shrug:

I agree about the video. I'd love to see some of this event or the other SC appearances he made today. (Or yesterday I guess it was.)
