Cheney's terror attack on Kerry backfires By New York Correspondent PHILLIP COOREY 14aug04 US Vice-President Dick Cheney blasted Democrats presidential contender John Kerry for saying the US needed to fight a "more sensitive war on terror". But the attack misfired, when the Kerry camp pointed out President George W. Bush had once said the same thing. With the election campaign growing nastier by the day, the Kerry camp then labelled Mr Cheney "Bush's attack dog" and again reminded the US neither Mr Cheney nor Mr Bush had the guts to go to war themselves. Speaking in Ohio yesterday, Mr Cheney ridiculed Senator Kerry for saying last week that winning back allies needed to fight terror required a more effective, thoughtful, strategic and sensitive approach. Mr Cheney said the US had been in many wars "but not one of them was won by being sensitive". "Those who threaten us and kill innocents around the world do not need to be treated more sensitively. They need to be destroyed," he said. But the Kerry camp was quick to respond. "Dick Cheney's desperate misleading attacks now have him criticising George Bush's own words, who called for America to be `sensitive about expressing our power and influence'," a spokesman said. "Dick Cheney doesn't understand arrogance isn't a virtue. Alienating allies makes it harder to hunt terrorists and bring them to justice." General Merrill McPeak, a member of the Kerry team, took issue with Mr Bush and Mr Cheney avoiding service in Vietnam. "John Kerry volunteered for active military service when many others – including President Bush and Mr Cheney – found a way to avoid it," he said.
