On Capitol Hill and on the campaign trail, Democrats are stepping up their criticism of President Bush on Iraq, sensing what they believe to be a vulnerability in the administration's rationale for the war that ousted Saddam Hussein from power.

Democrats also are raising questions about continued U.S. casualties in Iraq, more than two months after Bush declared an end to major combat, and the continued occupation of the country.

"Now clearly it's time for the president to step forward and tell the truth, that the war is continuing and so are the casualties," said Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, one of nine Democrats seeking his party's 2004 presidential nomination.

In a critical speech, Kerry -- who supported giving Bush the authority to go to war -- criticized the administration for what he said was its neglect of diplomacy and planning.

"It's time for the president to tell the truth -- that we lack sufficient forces to do the job of reconstruction in Iraq and withdraw in a reasonable period," he said.
