Kerry Faults Bush's Afghanistan Strategy (accuses "cut and run")

Kerry Faults Bush's Afghanistan Strategy

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Democratic Sen. John Kerry, the party's 2004 presidential nominee, accused the Bush administration of pursuing a "cut and run" strategy in Afghanistan that has emboldened terrorists and made the U.S. less safe.

"The administration's Afghanistan policy defines cut and run," Kerry said in remarks prepared for delivery at Howard University on Thursday. "Cut and run while the Taliban-led insurgency is running amok across entire regions of the country. Cut and run while Osama bin Laden and his henchmen hide and plot in a lawless no-man's land."

Kerry's "cut and run" accusation echoes criticism Republicans have leveled at Democrats who have challenged Bush's handling of the Iraq war.

1. Yes! Max Cleland has said this, too. They cut and ran from Osama.
Kudos to John Kerry!

4. Notice that Cleland, Clark and Kerry are almost always in the mix on this
issue and on Dem campaign battles. All three are prominent in working for Fightinfg Dems, Patriot Project and VoteVets.

They all saw firsthand that the Dem party needed an infrastructure to access the Democratic veterans in a way that would put to rest the institutionalized media lie that the GOPs are the party that supports and are supported by the military.

They went about building it. It looks like it's going to work. The truth SHOULD work.


We'll see.
