Kerry Vows to Restore 'Trust, Credibility'
Kerry Vows to Restore 'Trust, Credibility'

BOSTON - Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) challenged President Bush (news - web sites)'s Iraq (news - web sites) policy in blunt, biting terms Thursday night and promised cheering Democratic National Convention delegates, "I will be a commander in chief who will never mislead us into war."

"America can do better, and help is on the way," the Democratic presidential nominee vowed over and over in a prime-time acceptance speech that marked the beginning of the general election phase of his long quest for the White House.

"Saying there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq doesn't make it so," said the four-term Massachusetts senator, a decorated Vietnam War veteran battling an incumbent president in an age of terrorism.

"Saying we can fight a war on the cheap doesn't make it so. And proclaiming mission accomplished certainly doesn't make it so," Kerry told thousands of delegates packed into an overheated, overcrowded FleetCenter as well as a nationwide television audience of uncounted millions.

and others on CNN trying to imply that Kerry was plagiarizing the words of other campaigns and candidates.


They must be doing a FAKE NEWS attempt.
