Kerry says threat of terrorism is exaggerated

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

GREENVILLE, S.C. — Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts said during last night's Democratic presidential debate that the threat of terrorism has been exaggerated.

"I think there has been an exaggeration," Mr. Kerry said when asked whether President Bush has overstated the threat of terrorism. "They are misleading all Americans in a profound way."

The front-runner for the Democratic nomination said he would engage other nations in a more cooperative fashion to quell terrorism.

"This administration's arrogant and ideological policy is taking America down a more dangerous path," Mr. Kerry said. "I will make America safer than they are."

Every mother and father in America has surely said to themselves, "That could happen here, in my child's school."

I thought all those laws prohibiting guns on school property would prevent such occurance.

"In general, we need to admit that we did not show an understanding of the complexities and dangers of the processes occurring in our own country and in the world," he said in a grim televised address to the nation.

"In any case, we couldn't adequately react ... We showed weakness, and weak people are beaten."

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America tomorrow. Putin gets it!
