Wednesday Noontime Blogosphere

There is a LOT going on all over the blogs these last few days, some of which we'll touch on later. I wanted to take a brief moment, though, to reference an entry at the DNC blog with pieces of Kerry's speech in Ohio today:

$200 billion for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford after-school programs for our children. $200 billion for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford health care for our veterans. $200 billion for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford to keep the 100,000 new police we put on the streets during the 1990s.

When it comes to Iraq, it's not that I would have done one thing differently from the President, I would've done almost everything differently. I would have given the inspectors the time they needed before rushing to war. I would have built a genuine coalition of our allies around the world. I would've made sure that every soldier put in harm's way had the equipment and body armor they needed. I would've listened to the senior military leaders of this country and the bipartisan advice of Congress. And, if there's one thing I learned from my own experience in a war, I would never have gone to war without a plan to win the peace.

He also addresses taxes, social security and healthcare with equal clarity. It's well worth the read and you can find it here.
