More Bad News for Kerry

[GoPackGo]

Here is the link

Perhaps this is a sign of a new beginning on foreign relations for Mr. Bush.

The good news for Kerry is that he is running against the Dub!

 

[MonkeyK]

Why is this bad news for Kerry. He has said that he would like to see greater UN involvement in Iraq.

 

[HardWarrior]

How is this bad news for Kerry? Bush calls the UN useless because it didn't back his war. He runs back a year later begging for help and election-year cover. If you've got a memory and don't drink major party Kool-Aid it's bad for Bush.

How will that be good for Kerry?

Things are making a turn for the better in Iraq

The 2.59 Million jobs lost as of August 2003 is now 1.16 Million as of May 2004

Economists are now predicting that by the time of the election there could be a net increase of 700000 jobs. Its not too good under normal circumstances, however if its comes true its quite remarkable considering the recession, the dot.com bust, the accounting scandals, 9/11, the afghan war and the iraq war.

If in just over a year that could be a swing of 3.3 million jobs....not too shabby.

Well while it might piuss off his supporters they still aren't going to jump ship and vote for Kerry. Of course some of them might not vote at all.

Kerry can't take the credit and it will be more difficult to attack his lack of going to the UN

Alternate, less cynical title:

More good news in Iraq.


I've always supported the war against Saddam and believe it could turn out to be one of the greatest humanitarian victories of the century. News like this and the article yesterday about most of the independent militias giving up power voluntarily in Iraq are milestones that give me real hope. Why turn it into petty bickering?

I take it you aren't a believe in the whole "actions speak louder than words" philosophy? How much UN involvement was there in Iraq at the beginning of this quagmire?

Anyways, I say let's take a less cynical approach like Oreagan said: this is good news for Iraq.

I'd say that is good news for all Americans and Iraqis.

Period.

I agree. Now if only the Iraqi's would grow a set and start fighting for their own freedom instead of letting us do it for them!

This thread's title is a nice synopsis of why this place is a shadow of what it could be, in terms of intelligent discussion. Way to take a piece of otherwise-positive news and turn it into partisan flamebaiting!

It's happening in spite of Bush, not because of him.

Wasn't it nice of Conjur to provide such an apt example of what you were talking about.

Don_Vito, what do you think of the thread title "Bonzo_Bucks"? A display of partiship poor taste?

I don't like the way you distort what is happening and call it the "truth". Especially when you throw out a one-liner with no substantiation. Don_Vito's "partisan flame-baiting" term fits very well.

Partisan? You calling me a Democrat?

HA!!

The only party I follow is the anti-BS party and this adminstration has proven to be full of that!

Bush promised full sovereignty but that's not going to happen. He lied.

It wasn't a lie, just a difference of opinion

No, he didn't as the other thread covered very well.

I see no need to point out the obvious and get into one of your little pissing matches. I appreciate the humor in your statements though.
