1. I doubt Bush wanted THIS coming out the day of Kerry's speech!

That's one July surprise I'm certain Rove didn't plan on.

2. Ukraine has lost 7 soldiers there, including one this month

4. And people keep asking what John Kerry would do different ...

in Iraq.

It's not what he would do different. It's that he isn't George W Bush the man that lied to the world to start this war. One by one our allies (what few we have) are deserting us because Bush lied. George W Bush has no credibility and is despised throughout the world. There is no guarantee that Kerry can enlist any other nation to help us in Iraq, but I think we can guarantee that Bush cannot.

If we are ever going to win the war on terror we need regime change in America. The longer Bush stays in the White House the stronger and more motivated the terrorists become. The lier, George W. Bush has become a liability in the war on terror.

5. win the war on terror

War on what?? Even if it was a "war", we are fighting Iraqi nationalists and Islamist extremists in Iraq not terror. And we aren't even fighting them anyway, they are killing the US troops as they scurry from fort to fort.

War on terror is a cheap slogan like the "war on drugs" the war on "heart disease" or "poverty".
