"We need an effective response to terrorism" You are witnessing the most effective response possible. You should stand up support out effort instead of bad mouthing it and attacking our leader. The terrorists love to see the left's hatred of our President and support for thugs like Saddam Hussein. They also laugh at the cowards who think the corrupt U.N. should dictate our policies and responses. And you can bet that they also want to see John Kerry for President. Just like the cowards and appeasers on the left do.

democraps can NOT say it is political timings:Bin Laden Said to Narrowly Escape Capture By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 11:02 a.m. ET PARIS (AP) -- Osama bin Laden narrowly escaped capture by French troops working with American forces in Afghanistan, perhaps several times, the head of France's armed forces said Monday. French soldiers are determined to capture the fugitive head of the al-Qaida network by the end of the year, Gen. Henri Bentegeat said Monday. ``Our men were not very far,'' Bentegeat told France's Europe-1 radio station. ``On several occasions, I even think that he slipped out of a net that was well closed.'' Bentegeat did not say when or where the escapes took place and a Defense Ministry spokeswoman declined to give details. Bin Laden is believed to be hiding in the rugged mountains on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Bentegeat said that about 200 French troops are working with American forces in Afghanistan in the hunt for holdouts of the ousted Taliban regime and al-Qaida. ``In Afghanistan, the terrain is extremely favorable to escapes, there are underground networks everywhere,'' Bentegeat said. On March 7, the U.S. military announced the start of a new sweep for insurgents and terror leaders, including bin Laden and Taliban chief Mullah Mohammed Omar. Bentegeat said bin Laden ``symbolizes Sept. 11'' and that the intricacy of bombings last Thursday in Madrid -- when 10 bombs tore through four rush-hour trains just minutes apart -- suggested the involvement of al-Qaida. The attack killed 200 people. Bentegeat called al-Qaida a ``hydra with several heads.'' ``If we catch one head there will be others,'' he said. But, ``for justice, for the innumerable victims of these monstrous attacks, it is indispensable.''

kerryboy ---liar caught on scene: washingtonpost.com Kerry was put on the defensive by Brown during an otherwise routine meeting with voters not far from the once-mighty Bethlehem Steel factory. Brown kept pressing Kerry to reveal which foreign officials he was talking about. He drew catcalls and boos from the pro-Kerry crowd, but kept at it when Kerry told the crowd, "This is what democracy is all about." Afterward, Brown, who described himself as a small-business owner and a graduate of West Point, said, "If he's lying about something so simple as this, you have to wonder whether a President Kerry would be an honest person. I wanted to give him an opportunity to defend his lie. He gave a nonanswer, which tells me he's lying." Questioned by reporters, Kerry declined to say what rank or position the people he met with held, describing them only as "people at different levels." Kerry has not traveled abroad since being treated for prostate cancer in February 2003. He said his last overseas trip was to England and France about two months before that. "I think what I said [last week] was that I've heard from people around the world who look forward to the day when they'll have an administration they can work with," he said. "I have consistently said I intend to restore America's place in the world, and I intend to rebuild some of those alliances that were hurt by what I believe has been an arrogant and reckless foreign policy." Staff writer Mike Allen in Washington contributed to this report.
