In Washington, Republican Party chief Ed Gillespie criticized Kerry for saying in an interview in The New York Times Magazine that, ``We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance.'' He appeared to equate terrorism to prostitution and illegal gambling, saying they can be reduced but not ended.

``This demonstrates a disconcerting pre-September 11 mind-set that will not make our country safer,'' Gillespie said on ``Face the Nation'' on CBS. ``And that is what we see relative to winning the war on terror and relative to Iraq.''

Hours later, Bush's re-election campaign announced a new television ad that plays off of Kerry's interview comment. ``Terrorism ... a nuisance? How can Kerry protect us when he doesn't understand the threat?'' the ad says. The campaign said the ad would run on national cable television networks and the campaign's Web site.
