Al, if Kerry wins, the real fun will be watching him get blamed for just about everything that happens after 2004. He reminds me a LOT of Gray Davis ... hence my "Ah-nuld in 2008" comment. But who am I kidding? Kerry will self-destruct just like Howard Dean did, except much more slowly. It doesn't take Pat Robertson's "divine vision" to predict that Bush can easily win in November. Hmmm...are you "flip/flopping" ? Al

Tench Re..But who am I kidding? Kerry will self-destruct just like Howard Dean did, except much more slowly. It doesn't take Pat Robertson's "divine vision" to predict that Bush can easily win in November. Speaking of which, Kerry pulled another boner the other day. http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/03/08/kerry.tm/ Bush and Kerry even argue over the very nature of the war on terrorism. The Democrats, Bush says in his speeches, "view terrorism more as a crime, a problem to be solved with law enforcement and indictments ... After the chaos and carnage of September the 11th, it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers. With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States, and war is what they got." To Kerry this is so much chest thumping and simply ignores what made success possible. It was a combination of local law enforcement and U.S. intelligence services, he argues, that tracked down al-Qaeda masterminds like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh in Pakistan. "Joining with local police forces didn't mean serving these terrorists with legal papers," he says. "It meant throwing them behind bars. None of the progress we have made would have been possible without cooperation." LOL Kerry is saying the war on terrorism, can be won through better policing, and better intelligence. No need for the US army, FBI or CIA in Kerry's dream world. What he seems to forget, is that the army drove Mohameed, and Ramzi out of their safe caves in Afghanistan, into a place, where the police could catch them. Besides, the local police don't have the suthority, or resources, to cross local boundaries like the CIA or FBI.
