Kerry Says Bush Fails U.S. Commander in Chief Test

GREEN BAY, Wis. (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) turned the tables on Republicans who call him unfit to be commander in chief and said on Tuesday President Bush (news - web sites) failed the "fundamental obligation" of the job -- to keep America as safe as possible.

The Massachusetts senator accused Bush of trying to hide until after next week's election news that 380 tons of powerful explosives were taken from an Iraqi military installation following the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.

"He has stood in front of the American people day after day, telling us how much progress we are making in Iraq (news - web sites) and how much safer we are under his leadership," Kerry said. "And what did the president have to say about the missing explosives? Not a word."

"Mr. President, what else are you being silent about? What else are you keeping from the American people?" he asked.

2. His failure in August of 2001 to prevent 9/11/01 John.

Hopefully the CIA report will point the fickle finger. Too bad it will come after the election.
