I understand why Ken Mehlman, as the Bush/Cheney campaign manager, in his latest msg pounds on Kerry’s “global test” statement, as if working with allies is the same thing as giving them a veto. But I can’t figure out how he can talk about Kerry’s “repeated denigration of our troops” at the debate. I mean, we were there. We heard him. Kerry could not have been more straightforward in his honoring our soldiers.

Yeah, yeah, I understand the logic: If you think a war is mistaken, you must also think the soldiers are mistaken. It’s stupid logic, but I understand it. What I can’t understand is why the Republican campaign thinks that, given Kerry’s actual statements and his demeanor, which we saw with our own eyes, we’re going to fall for this one.
