Mudville Gazette

A MILBLOG

The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Kennedy says it's Vietnam.

Byrd says we've got to run away, fast.

Bob Kerrey practically calls for a jihad.

John Kerry says he has a strategy for Iraq: In the past week the situation in Iraq has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. While we may have differed on how we went to war, Americans of all political persuasions are united in our determination to succeed. The extremists attacking our forces should know they will not succeed in dividing America, or in sapping American resolve, or in forcing the premature withdrawal of U.S. troops. Our country is committed to help the Iraqis build a stable, peaceful and pluralistic society. No matter who is elected president in November, we will persevere in that mission.

Choreographed? Likely.

Goal: Kerrey's solid on national security, even it means disagreeing with his buds!

Credibility: Zero.

Update: Was over at Kos' looking for something (more on that later) and found this instead (Note, I don't link Kos' posts as he tends to change, move, or hide them anyway.):

Why is Kerry running? by kos Mon Apr 12th, 2004 at 01:25:26 EDT
I was asked last week, in all earnestness, "Why is Kerry running for president?"
Interesting question. I knew why Edwards was running -- to rectify the inequalities of the "two Americas". Gephardt was the champion of the working class. Dean wanted nothing less than reform of the Democratic party establishment.

I know why I will vote for Kerry -- because he's not Bush. And this upcoming presidential election is literally a matter of life and death.

But why is Kerry running for president?

I've got nothing.

Update 2: Did you know that Americans were more miserable under Reagan than Carter? It's true. Of course, Clinton blew them all away.

Prove it you say? Well, take a look at this graph:
