Stumping Kerry Sidesteps Blasts and Election in Spain

WASHINGTON, March 15 ? Senator John Kerry has conspicuously avoided speaking out on the terrorist attacks in Spain and the fall of the government there, a departure from his practice of trying to use the events of the day to bolster his case against President Bush.
All year, Mr. Kerry has argued that the war in Iraq has diverted resources and attention away from what should have been devoted to a more pernicious target, terrorist groups, and he has accused the president of squandering alliances that previous administrations carefully cultivated.
Yet in a 25-minute speech on Monday about terrorism and domestic security to the International Association of Firefighters, the senator mentioned the events in Spain only in passing. He accused the president of being "short on action" in protecting Americans against terrorism and added, "As we saw again last week in Spain, real action is what we need."
Democrats inside and outside Mr. Kerry's campaign said on Monday that the situation in Spain now was too uncertain and delicate to use politically. ...
Too bad you can't admit that no lies were told by Bush and that Clinton, Algore, and Kerry ALL said the very same things based on the same information.
Newly elected Spanish PM says of the Iraq invasion: "It divided more than it united, there were no reasons for it. Time has shown that the arguments for it lacked credibility and the occupation has been managed badly."
Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair "will have to engage in reflection and self-criticism," he said in a separate interview with Cadena Ser radio. "You cannot organize a war with lies." Too bad no one told that to Bush and Rove a year and a half ago!
(see Spain's new leader pledges to withdraw troops from Iraq).
Note, btw, he says the troops will be withdrawn IF the UN isn't given control...
