Kerry Brags About Abandoning Troops
Kerry said Monday that he and running mate John Edwards were proud that they opposed the $87 billion aid package for Afghanistan and Iraq "when we knew the policy had to be changed."
MARQUETTE, Mich. President Bush said Tuesday that rival John Kerry abandoned support for U.S. troops in Iraq and then bragged about it.
"Leaders need to stand up with our military," Bush told a cheering crowd.
"He is entitled to his view," Bush said, adding that Kerry should not have gone on to "brag about it."
Bush also criticized Kerry and Edwards for saying the Bush administration has done a poor job of handling the economy.
"My opponents look at all this progress and somehow conclude that the sky is falling," declared Bush, saying that the economy has added 1.5 million new jobs since last summer, including 29,600 in Michigan since February.
