Reply #66: The "war on Terror" is an unfortunate term coined [View All]

by the Bush Administration. Call it what you will - there are terrorist organizations whose stated goal is the destruction of the United States. I doubt they could accomplish this, but 9/11 DID happen, killing over 3,000 people and causing great harm to our economy. The Clinton administration was well aware of the terrorist threat, thwarting several serious attempts. Be assured that terrorist actions on the scale of 9/11 will be attempted in the future.

Big Tree has posted an excellent summation of Kerry's terrorism policy up thread (#47). Kerry has clearly stated that he believes a "war on terror" is better fought through espionage and police work rather than outright military intervention.

You have as much stated that you will support Bush this November - I hope you only said this in the heat of the moment.
