   "President Bush's reasons for getting involved in Iraq have been suspect, and the progress thus far has been slower than we were led to believe it would be, but I believe the president is still the best person to successfully wage this war on terror," Higgins said.
   
   Kerry said he wants to work with the United Nations so the United States would not incur all losses associated with the war. He said the Bush administration has shut out the U.N., but Bush differentiated his stance from Kerry's by saying that he would not give any entity a veto over U.S. national security.

   Higgins criticized Kerry, saying he "has offered little concrete plans with regards to Iraq, and those he has put forth are questionable."
