Kerry is making hay with Bush's tragic, it-would-be-funny-if-it-wasn't-so-scary incompetence of letting a huge cache of explosives go missing in Iraq, even after they were warned repeatedly to make sure it was secure both before and after the invasion.
The LA Times quotes Kerry blasting Bush today:
""Now we know that our country and our troops are less safe because this president failed to do the basics," Kerry said, according to the LA Times. "This is one of the great blunders of Iraq, and one of the great blunders of this administration. And the incredible incompetence of this president and this administration has put our troops at risk, and put this country at greater risk than we ought to be.""He accused the administration of "blindness," "stubbornness" and "arrogance" on Iraq, saying its failure to "do the basics" in securing weapons showed Bush had failed the test of being commander in chief.Kerry also assailed Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for having "cavalierly dismissed the danger of looting" when U.S. forces occupied Iraq. He was referring to Rumsfeld's comment about the post-invasion looting there that "stuff happens."
""Now we know the impact," Kerry said."
Go get 'em, tiger.
