Kerry Links Bush Iraq War Costs to Domestic Needs
Sen John Kerry charged that President Bushs handling of the Iraq war has cost America about 200 billion dollars that should have funded schools health care and other domestic programs. He spoke in Cincinnati tying war costs to deficits and cuts in job training veterans health care and police aid as he sought to shift focus to home front issues. He defended his 2002 vote authorizing force while criticizing Bushs post war management and warned he would stand up to enemies without harming Americans day to day lives. The campaign contrasted Kerry ads linking war costs to Bushs domestic record with a Bush response questioning Kennrys consistency.
