Al Gore speaks of John Kerry today

[WilliamPitt]

In my opinion, John Kerry is dealing with this unfolding tragedy in an impressive and extremely responsible way. Our nation's best interest lies in having a new president who can turn a new page, sweep clean with a new broom, and take office on January 20th of next year with the ability to make a fresh assessment of exactly what our nation's strategic position is as of the time the reigns of power are finally wrested from the group of incompetents that created this catastrophe.

Kerry should not tie his own hands by offering overly specific, detailed proposals concerning a situation that is rapidly changing and unfortunately, rapidly deteriorating, but should rather preserve his, and our country's, options, to retrieve our national honor as soon as this long national nightmare is over.

5. Powerful speech

Everybody should read the whole thing. The stuff about Kerry is the least of it. Complete indictment on the whole Bush Administration. Also connects Abu Ghraib with the holding of people in our own country without access to lawyers etc. I hope this gets an enormous amount of play, it's the most powerful statement I've seen to date.

Funny how they never seem to make in onto these sorts of threads.
