"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that
we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public."
-- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918

Kerry Calls Iraq War a Failure
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. -
Presidential candidate John Kerry said Wednesday the war in Iraq is a
failure and that a shake-up is needed to end the Bush administration's
mistakes and incompetence, a sharp critique that sparked more
Republican criticism that the Democrat is making the war a political
issue.
"Why should we reward more of the same? Why should we reward
miscalculations of what it would take to make the peace?" Kerry asked
in an interview with Associated Press Radio.
"I think that it's been one miscalculation after another, frankly. And
arrogance that has lost America respect and influence in the world."
Although Kerry has spent the week promoting his health care proposals,
including allowing Americans to buy prescription drugs in Canada, he
is frequently asked about the war.
Marc Racicot, Bush's general campaign chairman, accused Kerry of
dragging politics into the war on terror and warned that domestic
criticism undermines military morale.
