| WaTimes Editorial: Kerry's skewed priorities |
| 2004-07-17 |
| via Wash Times Remarkably straight-forward and honest assessment of the duplicity of the Donk campaign. Kudos to WaTi. Is the rest of the MSM paying attention? Time to cut out the incredible bias, play it straight, and do your jobs... or continue to become increasingly irrelevant background noise. Editorial - July 17, 2004 Earlier this week, the campaign of Sen. John Kerry attacked President Bush for his inattention to the flaws in Iraq intelligence estimates. However, Mr. Kerry's attack, and his failure to inform himself on those matters, raise serious questions about his priorities. Earlier this week, Mr. Kerry's campaign demanded to know if the president had read the entire October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs (WMD). It blasted out an e-mail headlined, "Did anyone in the White House read the full National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq?" and followed it with a conference call led by Sen. Richard Durbin, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, during which the senator declared that Mr. Bush should have read the full report. However, Mr. Kerry had not read the report before he voted for the war. After the conference call, his aides acknowledged that while Mr. Kerry had been briefed on the contents of the report, he had not read it. It's doubtful that Mr. Kerry has read it since — either before he voted against the $87 billion to finance the war or afterwards, since his campaign did not return our call on that question. It's also doubtful that Sen. John Edwards, a member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, has read the NIE. His campaign office did not respond to our inquiry whether he had read the NIE before he voted for the war, after he voted against its funding or since. |

| #1 However, Mr. Kerry’s attack, and his failure to inform himself on those matters, raise serious questions about his priorities. What question is there about his priorities? John Forbes Kerry is his highest priority. |
