Kerry asks 'why', says Bush should ask for help in Iraq

This is a powerful reprise of Kerry's most famous line from his 1971 Senate testimony:

"And here today, once again, we are asking the question, 'Why is the United States of America almost alone in carrying this burden and the risks which the world has a stake in?'"

Kerry went on to toss out this barb:

"I notice President Bush is taking some days off down at Crawford, Texas, and I'm told that when he takes days off, you know, he totally relaxes," Kerry said. "He doesn't watch television, he doesn't read the newspapers, he doesn't make long-term plans, doesn't worry about the economy. I thought about that for a moment. I said, 'Sounds to me like it's just like life in Washington, doesn't it?"'
