John Kerry Says Al Qaeda Not That Bad

In an alarming assessment of the dangers America faces from al Qaeda, Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry, upon being asked in a debate on January 29th if President Bush was overstating the terrorist threat, said, “"I think there has been an exaggeration. They are misleading all Americans in a profound way."

Kerry seems to have forgotten the horrific events of 9-11-2001, or perhaps in his staggering wealth he simply doesn’t give a damn. Kerry loved the disgusting insult the cover of his book, The New Soldier, delivered to the thousands of United States Marines and sailors who died on Iwo Jima (the cover has protestors mocking the raising of the flag on Mount Suribachi and holding the U.S. flag upside down). He marched with protestors carrying Viet Cong flags while the Viet Cong killed American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. He supported North Vietnam’s use of American POWs as bargaining chips in peace negotiations. He remains a vocal supporter of the traitorous “Hanoi Jane” Fonda, who encouraged the torture of American POWs. And with other radical leftists, John Kerry threw medals he implied belonged to him at a statue at the Capitol, when in reality they were not his at all (he later admitted he wasn’t sure whose medals those were). He even claimed to have personal knowledge of numerous American servicemen raping, pillaging, plundering and murdering across South Vietnam, which he later admitted to having heard as hearsay from fellow supporters of North Vietnam.

North Vietnamese war strategists have repeatedly stated that the communist insurgency was able to defeat the U.S. military in large part because of the motivation and hope the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong received from U.S. “war” protestors.

Kerry sees nothing wrong with any of this.

Now John Kerry, who according to the North Vietnamese gave them aid and comfort in time of war, says al Qaeda isn’t all that bad and that President Bush is exaggerating the danger we are in.

I wonder if he would feel that way had his family been killed in the attacks of September 11th, 2001. Al Qaeda has butchered thousands of Americans and would kill every American man, woman and child on earth if they could. They destroyed the World Trade Center, attacked the Pentagon, nearly sank the USS Cole, destroyed our embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, blew up the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, plotted to slaughter Americans around the world, and are desperately seeking nuclear, chemical and biological weapons to use against us.

And John Kerry says President Bush is exaggerating how dangerous al Qaeda is.

There is a long-running fallacy that someone who served in the military would no doubt make a good commander in chief in time of war. In reality, you must look at the entire candidate and get inside his head. You have to judge him by all his past actions, policies, beliefs and philosophies.

Do you want a president who believes al Qaeda isn’t all that bad?

Kerry is obviously a person with a September 10th mentality living in a September 12th reality. He has forgotten the events of September 11th and as such the people of the United States will forget him come November 2004.

Don't fool yourself. If you don't vote, Kerry will be your next President.

"...they are our enemies, the opponents of freedom, western civlization and our basic constitutional freedoms."

If you hadn't mentioned Al Qaeda, I would have thought that you were defining what Liberals are all about!
The WMD's of Liberalism are most of the media, many of the colleges/universities, and almost all of the liturgists just to name only a few.

have been shocked and appalled by the way these people have been brainwashed, and I didn't see it coming because I don't watch TV.

This happened to me last night at dinner with friends. These people voted for GW in 2000, and they went on about him like he was the enemy. I calmly went over each thing they were so upset about, (about 2 1/2 hrs) the war, the economy, corporate crooks, GWHB and Cheyney actually running the govt. It was UNBELIEVABLE. I kept driving home what happened on 9/11 that is the number 1 issue for me. They are totally not clued in about anything, and are ripe for the soundbites. It's scary The media whores are really working overtime - and putting seeds of doubts in thier minds. Don't ANYONE assume GW has this election in the bag. We have LOTS of work to do.
