John Kerry has spoken about mounting a civil campaign, but at this point I just wonder if he is capable of doing anything but attacking the President. Sen. Kerry, WHAT would YOU do? That's a lot harder question to answer. I'm not an ardent Bush supporter, but as I look at both candidates, I'm not sure if we'd be doing or having anything different by going for our own regime change.

What is YOUR vision, Mr. Kerry? Sorry to say, but so far your "vision" seems to be more like "hindsight." And hindsight is always 20/20.


KANSAS CITY, Mo. - John Kerry said Saturday the White House is committing character assassination with its treatment of former counterterror chief Richard Clarke to avoid responding to questions about national security. Kerry also said Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites), President Bush (news - web sites)'s national security adviser, should testify in public before the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

"If Condoleezza Rice can find time to do `60 Minutes' on television before the American people, she ought to find 60 minutes to speak to the commission under oath," Kerry told reporters. "We're talking about the security of our country."
