These are great add ons to my comments:
Or drove a truck bomb to a Federal office? Or set fire to Russian schoolchildren? Or blew up a busy pizzeria?

Another example of why Kerry and the elite lunatic libs are so locked into 9/10/01.
Don't you have some great art work re Kerry being so 9/10 in a post 9/11 world.

We're now at that point where we're making that kind of decision for the next 30 or 40 years, and it's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on November 2nd, we make the right choice. Because if we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again, that we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States, and that we'll fall back into the pre-9/11 mind set if you will, that in fact these terrorist attacks are just criminal acts, and that we're not really at war. I think that would be a terrible mistake for us.
Vice President Cheney - right again...

We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisanceYou make a great point. I wonder how often Kerry makes this statement to the September 11 families he uses as campaign props.

The guy who's been trying to dupe the people into really believing that he's a pro-American tough guy is showing his true colors here.
This is all the evidence any sane person should need as proof for why the man has no business being anywhere near the White House.

The next debate is supposed to be about domestic issues. If this fool gets in, no one will be around to do any debating at all!
To: pabianice
The tone of the article really surprised me. It seemed to be written by a genuinely fair reporter who was trying to tell an accurate story and get the differences between Kerry and Bush right. I give the NYT a single kudo for this.

A mosquito is a nuisance, so a more "sensitive" approach will be required.
To: libstripper
This is the second Times article in a week to accurately portray Kerry as a dangerous *ssh*le. What's going on over there?
To: PhiKapMom
"...it's not threatening the fabric of your life."This guy is so nuts I can't believe they let him wander around without keepers. The mere thought of him winning this election gives me hives.

It seems like Kerry wants us to be 'tolerant' of terror as a means to combatting it. You see, if we can just trust that big government is fighting terror like it's fighting prostititution and gambling then we'll all feel better again. Our personal terror stratum can be reduced to a mere 'nuisance' level and we can get on with life without all this war nonsense. When terror strikes accross town we can just say: "Hey, that there terror attack accross town sure was bad Myrtle, thank God it missed us and Kerry will catch those criminals, now pass the peas". Kerry is dangerously delusional.

I think whats going on is NYT is subtley clicking into Clintonista mode. I think they are looking at Kerry and knowing that this guy will set DNC back for years and years and they are doing what they can to cut and run and Jus Wait for Zero Eight"

That was an amazing essay that the NYTimes carried by Matt Bai. I'm not sure if the NYTimes intended on having it be so spot on negative. It really revealed a lot about John Kerry and why he should never be allowed to become POTUS. The closing paragraph sums Kerry's stance on terrorism nicely.
When Kerry first told me that Sept. 11 had not changed him, I was surprised. I assumed everyone in America -- and certainly in Washington -- had been changed by that day. I assumed he was being overly cautious, afraid of providing his opponents with yet another cheap opportunity to call him a flip-flopper. What I came to understand was that, in fact, the attacks really had not changed the way Kerry viewed or talked about terrorism -- which is exactly why he has come across, to some voters, as less of a leader than he could be. He may well have understood the threat from Al Qaeda long before the rest of us. And he may well be right, despite the ridicule from Cheney and others, when he says that a multinational, law-enforcement-like approach can be more effective in fighting terrorists. But his less lofty vision might have seemed more satisfying -- and would have been easier to talk about in a political campaign -- in a world where the twin towers still stood.

To: Reagan Man
It fits in with his whole political career.
His solution to the cold war was unilateral disarmament (can anyone say "France before WWII")
His solution to terrorism is not taking the threat as a declaration of war
His solution to nuclear proliferation is:
1. giving Iran nuclear fuel, and
2.not developing our defenses against ICBM's, or our bunker buster technology.
This guy doesn't deserve to be an american. I hope the FBI still has a file active on him. WHo knows who he is in a conspiracy with this time.

Will Kerry's statement that terrorism is a nuisance change the New Jerseny Widows' minds or do they hate Bush so much that they'd vote for this shallow man?
He truely is UNFIT to head this nation. We really do know who he is.
