Strib Turns Up the Heat

Hi All!

Tomorrow's Star Tribune lead editorial is an over the topper.

John Kerry said it plain and said it loud: He would not have invaded Iraq. His reasoning was clear: It had no weapons of mass destruction; it had no links to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001; it posed no imminent threat to the United States. Yes, he said, he voted to give President Bush the power to go to war. But, Kerry said, instead of using that power as he promised he would, to increase international pressure on Saddam Hussein, Bush used it to hurry into a disastrous, go-it-almost-alone war that has isolated America in the world and made it less safe.

Bush is living in a fantasy world, while Kerry deals in facts. The course America is on runs right over a cliff.

Almost sounds like a boilerplate Kerry Kampaign press release.

I detect Jim Boyd's fingerprints all over it.

Read it and see if you can argue that the Strib isn't the most left-wing rag in print.

Cheers!
