With all of the recent talk about changes in the Kerry campaign it sounds as though perhaps he's kicking it up a notch or two. We need him to get tough and quit taking punches. Talking about issues that matter sounds like a good idea. Coalitions? Health care? Excellent news.
"Our differences couldn't be plainer. And I have set them out consistently. When it comes to Iraq, it's not that I would have done one thing differently, I would've done almost everything differently."
He added: "I would have built a strong, broad coalition of our allies around the world. And, if there's one thing I learned from my service, I would never have gone to war without a plan to win the peace."
"In an interview two days ago, the president said we can't win the war on terror," Mr. Kerry said. "I know he said something different to you yesterday, but I absolutely disagree with what he said in that interview in a moment of candor. With the right policies, this is a war we can win, this is a war we must win, and this is a war we will win because we're the can-do people and there's nothing we can't do if we put our mind and our muscle into it."
Then, to cheers and applause, he added: "It is the first proposal that I will send to the United States Congress next January. We will make health care affordable and accessible to all Americans."
