[Vision2020] Last NIght's Debate

[Linda Pall]

Dear Tom and Visionaries,

George Bush's plan/response for the future in Iraq was aptly described by John Kerry: more of the same.

It has not worked to date and shows no prospect of working any time soon.

John Kerry did a great job last night and I look forward to regime change in Washington, D.C.

By the way, Tom: thanks for your many interesting postings and links. They are appreciated and offer people an opportunity to look elsewhere for other voices. 

All the best,
Linda Pall

  While debating Iraq and the War on Terror (President Bush's strongest topic):

   

  To me the magic word was "confidence".  Senator Kerry displayed a strong sense of confidence as he responded to questions presented to him and rebutted questions posed to President Bush.   Bush hemmed and hawed through that last hour of the debate.  For a sitting president, Bush did not look presidential.

   

  The key to the next four years is a "plan" concerning Iraq.  

   

  Kerry detailed his plan as:

   

  1)  Meet with world leaders and strengthen the coalition.  Share in a common goal.

   

  2)  Train Iraqis to defend themselves effectively.

   

  3)  Slowly withdraw troops.

   

  Bush had no plan.  His response was simply to "not change".  (In other words:  Stay the course.)

   

  They both agreed that the main threat to world peace is nuclear (or as Bush says, "nucular") proliferation.

   

  Kerry detailed his 4-year plan.  Bush, again, had no plan.

   

  It is only going to get worse for President Bush The Appointed in the course of the next two debates; debates that center on domestic issues.  You remember those issues, don't you?  Jobs.  The economy.  Health care. Etc. etc.

   

  Until then,

   

  Take care of yourselves and each other.

   

  Tom Hansen

   

  A good friend will come and bail you out of jail.  But a true friend will be
  sitting next to you saying, "Damn . . . that was fun!"
