I couldn't have said it better myself. In speaking against John Kerry, Bush said what seems to be a very striking thing, "You can't win a war if you don't believe in fighting."
His goal was to discredit Kerry's call for telling people the truth and using war as a last resort, but it should remind us of a more serious issue. None of the principals involved in formulating the Iraq war ever believed in putting their own butts in harm's way for this nation. You could argue Colin Powell, but he didn't want this war anymore than most of this country did. Bush quit the service when it got inconvenient for his life; pity he won't even let Guardsmen and regulars leave when their service requirements are fulfilled, much less eight months early. Cheney is a world class scumbag when it comes to answering his nation's call. You can read more about the staff of service dodgers and general Chickenhawks here (and here) if you haven't read it before.
Hey, Saddam didn't have any WMDs. Most of us already know that, but even the government-appointed investigators now agree. So much for that "imminent threat" our troops have died and are dying to remove.
As for the debate, Cheney's lies about never meeting Edwards before or his previous statements linking Saddam to September 11th have met the light of day and have promptly withered and died. Seriously, this guy lies about small issues and large and then expect you to vote for them because of their conviction and morals? As Flo from Alice would say, "Kiss mah grits."
