WASHINGTON - John Kerry yesterday charged that President Bush failed to win the "war of ideas" against Osama bin Laden and isn't doing enough the safeguard America.

Kerry - who seldom speaks out on terrorism, which is considered a winning issue for Bush - said the White House "hasn't pursued a strategy to win the hearts and minds of people around the world and win the war of ideas against the radical ideology of Osama bin Laden."

Umm...and Kerry would do a better job fighting terrorism? If Kerry becomes commander in chief, I shudder to think of the state of this nation. I fear for our future and safety. And national security is fine and dandy, but what is the point of beefing up national security if we don't have a nation to protect? That is what will happen if we don't fight terror!

Yeah, that is what the Dems want us to think!

Terrorism is a creation of Bush according to Kerry and his buddies!

"I do not fault George Bush for doing too much in the war on terror, I believe he's done too little. I think this administration has it backward."

But... I thought the threat from terrorism has been over-exaggerated?

Day whatever number it is of the campaign and I am still waiting to hear John Kerry's plan for dealing with terrorisim. Oh, wait, he would treat it like a crime. Great plan, go back to treating terrorism like we did pre-911. Even better, John Kerry wants to rely more on our intelligence capability. Something he voted to gut and actively worked to gut.

..win the war of ideas against the radical ideology of Osama bin Laden."

I'm sure Kerry thinks his stance on gay marriage will be a big winner in the war of ideas with Osama and his followers.

Well, don't you know that Kerry is allowed to change his mind every 5 minutes (sarcasm)...
Flip flop, flip flop!

I guess today the threat of terror is under-exaggerated...wonder what it will be tomorrow?

Good Job

I look at all that they have done,
They sure have done it fast.
They’ve started the rebuilding,
And Saddam’s time has past.
The people cheer our soldiers,
And wave as they go by.
The quagmire’s in John Kerry’s mind,
Another lib’ral lie.
No they’re not done but they’ll prevail,
The terrorists will flee.
They owe it to our fighting force,
Iraq will soon be free.

Well, another Flip Flop from Kerry, or is it a nuance?

Quote from another thread:

"For John Kerry, our "first responders" in the War on Terror are the people who respond to an attack with firehoses, bulldozers and cadaver dogs. For President George Bush, our "first responders" are the 101st Airborne, the Third Infantry Division, the Navy and the Air Force. They get no mention in Kerry's self-described "Agenda to Support Front Lines in America's War on Terror," which contains not a single single word about offense. "

His method to deal with terrorism is scary...why doesn't he just invite them in and strap them up with bombs himself?

War of Ideas? WTF is he talking about? The way to win a war of ideas is to kill the people who harbor the wrong ideas.

I thought Kerry said that the war against terrorism should be a police action...not a war.

So the author of this piece just presented Kerry's talking points with no opinion? Why not just say here is John F'n Kerry's campaign speech.....everything is Bush's fault!
