The Des Moines Register today quoted Kerry as claiming, "With George Bush, the plan for Iraq is more of the same and the great potential of a draft."

In reality, as NewsMax's Insider Report noted last week, it's Kerry's own party that has been trying to do that.

When will Kerry tell fellow Democrats Charlie Rangel and lame duck Fritz Hollings to stop their sleaze?

And why was Bush too wimpy during the debates to ask the same question? When the issue was raised, all he did was sputter and deny without bothering to point out the facts.

Bush-Cheney campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt did point out today that Kerry's latest "fear-mongering" claim showed "that he is a candidate willing to do or say anything to score political points."
