Frontrunner Sen. John Kerry had this to say recently: "The War on Terror is . . . is occasionally military, and it will be . . . for a long time. . . . But it's primarily an intelligence and law-enforcement operation that requires cooperation around the world."

This sounds like a return to the old "Let them blow up an office building or embassy or two; we'll impanel a grand jury and issue subpoenas -- that'll show them" way of doing things.

Let me ask you this: In terms of Al Queda--they are the primary terror threat, no?--how is what Kerry said wrong? Isn't the hunt for Al Queda a combination of military, intelligence, and law-enforcement? Isn't that what homeland security is? And don't we need the cooperation of countries like Pakistan, or Indonesia, or Saudi Arabia?

Isn't this an example of what Kerry described?
