WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- The campaign of Sen. John Kerry scoffed at a new, more pointed attack Wednesday by President George W. Bush, saying it was a sign of desperation.
Bush, in a speech delivered in Pennsylvania, pilloried Kerry again on his apparent flip flops on Iraq. He said Kerry had a pre-Sept. 11 mindset and would pursue "a strategy of retreat" if elected.
"Sen. Kerry assures us that he's the one to win a war he calls a mistake, an error, a diversion (from fighting terror)," Bush said. "But you can't win a war you don't believe in fighting. In Iraq, Sen. Kerry has a strategy of retreat; I have a strategy of victory."
Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer said Bush was desperate following remarks by former coalition government director Paul Bremer" class="tpstyle">L. Paul Bremer that not enough troops had been sent to Iraq to bring stability, and word of a draft report by the chief U.S. weapons inspector that Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction.
"Obviously pressure is increasing on the president, there is more burden on his shoulders and he is lashing out on the stump," Singer said.
