		A group of Democratic foreign policy experts says President Bush deserves a gold medal for gall for invoking the Olympics in televisions ads touting his foreign policy.
		Matt Bennett, a former aide to retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark's presidential campaign, said the ad was a push-back to what his group regards as Bush's attempt to manipulate Olympic patriotism to political advantage.
		Kerry said earlier this month that he would fight "a more effective, more thoughtful, more strategic, more proactive, more sensitive war on terror." Cheney and Bush have seized upon Kerry's use of the word "sensitive," suggesting that it indicates that the Massachusetts senator is too soft to adequately defend the country.
