Kerryland, here I come?

380 tons of explosives have been stolen in Iraq. They were supposed to be under U.S. control. One of the main reasons for the war was to keep Iraqi weapons away from terrorists. Ha, ha. The other reasons for the war run deeper, and have to do with changing hearts and minds in the mideast. But that won't happen either if terrorists have the military means to prevent the democratic Iraqi government from supplying security to innocent Iraqi civilians.

This is almost enough to get me to vote for Kerry. Maybe it is enough. The problem is that there are not enough troops to secure the peace. Period. For all his posturing as the macho, can-do candidate, Bush apparently doesn't have the political courage to risk unpopularity by sending the necessary human resources to Iraq.

Kerry won't do it either -- but on every issue other than whether the Iraq was was worth doing, I agree with Kerry more than Bush. Kerry's lack of belief in the war makes me fee, for a number of reasons, that he can't prosecute it properly. The problem is, Bush is proving he can't either.
