Drudge highlights a Democratic congressman who swears by his pentagon sources that Bush is waiting until November 3rd (or somewhere in there) to deploy more guard and reserve troops.

On cue, Kerry wastes no time.

And in the tradition of brave wartime Democrats of old, Nancy Pelosi draws out a bold new initiative and her take on Iraq

"It's clear that this administration didn't know what it was getting into, or else they grossly misrepresented the facts to the American people," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "In either case, staying the course is not an option."

That's right - boldness in retreat. The whole point of this charade, because I don't believe for a second that Kerry thinks we need less troops - in fact, he and his cohorts have on many an occasion said just the opposite - is trying to find a suitable straw from which a presidential campaign can be revitalized. Nothing is sticking and nothing Kerry does is working to dent Bush's credibility on the issue of national security. Now that the debate has been properly calibrated back to national security (as if it should have ever left - there is no such thing as health insurance coverage adequate enough after a nuclear detonation), and Kerry's sole qualification for the job of commander-in-chief has been routinely lampooned by a rather pesky 527, a cloud of desperation has settled in at Kerry's campaign headquarters.

This cloud seems to have caused further confusion, however - John Kerry has been incorrectly informed that he is running for president against Halliburton

Kerry's campaign also intensified its criticism of the vice president and defense contractor Halliburton, the company Cheney used to lead, as an aspect of the administration's management of the war.

Halliburton, however, does not meet the constitutional qualification for POTUS.

As if this is all not enough to keep one chuckling for a good portion of the afternoon, there's this

A new radio ad running in New Hampshire and Florida says "the Saudi royal family appreciates the support" when Americans fill up their tanks at gas stations. "Who does the royal family support? George W. Bush and Dick Cheney."

The radio ad says that "No administration's ever been so close to big oil and foreign oil," and that the Bush administration "gives Saudi Prince Bandar classified briefings."

No word on who Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Ladin will be voting for.
