Apparently not... and I'm very glad to see Kerry distance himself from the RW warmongers.
Here it is straight off of

KERRY'S RESPONSE TO BUSH WHO ATTACKED VETERAN JOHN KERRY DURING A VETERANS DAY SPEECH:"I wish President Bush knew better than to dishonor America's veterans by playing the politics of fear and smear on Veterans Day....This administration misled a nation into war by cherry-picking intelligence and stretching the truth beyond recognition. That's why Scooter Libby has been indicted. That's why a statement in the State of the Union Address was retracted. Today they continue the same games hoping Americans forget the mess they made in Iraq that's cost over 2,000 Americans their lives and their failure to find Osama bin Laden. Americans will not forget, and neither will those of us who defend our country by asking tough questions and demanding a new course in Iraq."
KERRY'S RESPONSE TO MCCAIN WHO CALLED KERRY PLAN "PATH TO DISASTER""The path forward in Iraq must defeat the insurgency and keep faith with our troops, rather than be driven by the politics of the Republican base or rigid adherence to President Bush's aimless course. The plan I have offered would correct our course. The speech Sen. McCain delivered does not... The way forward in Iraq is not to pull out precipitously or merely promise to stay 'as long as it takes.' To undermine the insurgency, we need to pursue both a political settlement and the withdrawal of American combat forces linked to specific, responsible benchmarks - beginning with the completion of successful December elections. ...It's essential if we want to correct our course and do what's right for our troops instead of repeating the same mistakes over and over again. No matter what anyone says, providing a better course isn't a road to disaster, it's patriotism."
