Well just to get this quite straight, Doug, the terrorists who attacked us were evidently a whole different kettle of terrorists than the ones we attacked. The connections between Hussein and 9-11 are nebulous at best, and certainly nowhere near enough to justify the deployment of millions of dollars worth of brute force. But we dove in, because we couldn't find anyone else to attack, having already bombed the bejeeze out of Afghanistan but apparently not with the success we hoped for - meaning an impact on the al Qeda network. Well, maybe we did unsettle them, I don't know.

Kerry has proven he understands the use of force.

Bush, as far as I can see, has proven that he does not.
