Kerry appeared to taunt the commander in chief at one point during the debate when he said his father, former President George H.W. Bush, had stopped troops from advancing on Baghdad after they had liberated Kuwait during the 1991 Persian Gulf War (news - web sites).

Now, he said, the son ordered an invasion of Iraq anyway, without an exit strategy, and under conditions that mean the United States has incurred 90 percent of the casualties and paid 90 percent of the cost.

1. "Clash"... "Jab"... "Taunt"... "Retort"....

Back in the age of the dinosaurs, when I was still in the journalism biz, we used to call that sort of writing "hot-rodding." Somebody ought to tell this guy that it's OK to just report the news... when we want non-stop sensation, we'll go watch the Monster Trucks show. :D
