check out this recent salon article (get the "day pass" to read the whole thing, you just have to sit through an ad).
essentially, bush and his cronies are calling out kerry in regards to not wanting to use the word "war." and its totally out of context, therefore irrelevant. its almost like gossip: someone overheard part of kerry's speech and passed it onto the republicans who are using it without actually checking the context. jeez.
