CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney said on Friday he had no confidence in Democratic challenger John Kerry's ability to fight the war on terror.

In a townhall-style meeting in the swing state of Iowa, Cheney focused on national security issues that clearly favor President Bush in the polls.

"The bottom line is I don't have any confidence in John Kerry to be the kind of tough aggressive commander in chief who will aggressively pursue adversaries overseas," Cheney said.

"And I think that's a major failing because I don't think we can win the war on terror unless we aggressively go after our enemies."

5. Cheney .....

Bush said the same thing in Pennsylvania today.

Note how both make the same claim that Kerry cannot handle the war on terrorism but neither gives any proof of their claims. Nobody in the news media or in the crowd ever challenge either one on their false and unsupported claim.

Why do you suppose that is the case?
