Reply #4: Excellent statement from Kerry

[gratuitous]

And a theme that needs to be reiterated. Not every Democrat in every speech needs to talk up Rumsfeld's delusional prating, but we really need to keep bumping this idea, because the administration's poor judgment and refusal to face reality is just getting more and more people killed.

Strangely, the media seem content to let the administration keep stringing everyone along about their super secret, oh-boy-wait-till-you-see-it plan for victory in Iraq that they will unveil soon. While Tony Snow's "number" approaches 100 for October, and more Iraqis get killed, the administration is content to spin out platitudes about how it's all gonna be better soon. If it can be better on November 8 (but only if Republicans are returned to office), why can't things be better on October 26?
