We've turned the corner as Kerry is now on the attack. For better or worse, Kerry is now trying to change the momentum and choose the topics that are discussed. His speech today at NYU, and his previous comments last week, are a welcome change to a strategy in July and August that seemed to be playing defense all too much.
Today, Kerry proposed his plan for Iraq, and explained his stance on the decision to go to war. It is amazing, though, how the media continues to take his comments out of context, or maybe they just don't understand. For instance, I am still hearing on t.v., and not just Fox, that Kerry voted to give Bush the authority to go to war. This is not accurate. Bush was given the authority to use force against Iraq if the UN inspectors were not allowed to do their job. Force does not equal war. War should have been the last resort, but for this administration it appears to have been the first option.
Kerry attacked bush, and his comments rang true. http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/09/20/kerry.iraq/index.html
It is about time that we start to hear Kerry take the fight to the incumbent.
Perhaps now we will start to see the "Anybody But Bush" contingent start to say, "Kerry for President".
