not to mention the fact that he is the only one of the two that truly knows what it means to be commander and chief of the armed forces of this nation and the protector of our nation from the threats from abroad.


Huh? You're holding it against Kerry that he's not currently President? That makes no sense whatsoever. The only reason GW "...truly knows what it means to be commander and chief of the armed forces of this nation..." is because he's currently holding that title. How much did he know about it 4 years ago? Squat. Just like every other Presidential hopeful. (except perhaps Grant and Ike)
