Kerry Will Abandon War on Terrorism

insight ^ | 3/1/04

[dirtboy]

He's definitely not going to abandon the war on terror - that's Insight's misleading tabloid-style headline.

Incorrect. Kerry said that he would revert to a Clinton-era approach of dealing with terrorism as a law-enfocement problem, not a military one.

[atomicpossum]

This power-hungry nutjob is going to get us all killed.

Only if he gets elected.

[reluctantwarrior]

This isn't a parody and he said it and I watched part of it on CSpan(I think). yes it was 12/03/2003 and the link is down to capacity limits.

[The Wizard]

Kerry's a bigger asshole than I thought

America will never elect him.....Zell may be right...McGovern/Mondale

[plain talk]

Our side needs to figure out how to get the media to pick up on these gaffes. Sure they're liberals but this is newsworthy stuff that is way outside the mainstream. Just who would he negotiate with - Osama? LOL! He's a nutcase and he will be destroyed between now and election. Much of it self-implosion.

[carton253]

Insight is a reputable magazine...but as I read it, I kept saying..."is this for real?"

I do know that Kerry will not fight. He will go back to the Clinton days when the US prosecuted terrorists instead of fighting terrorists.

His election would be a tremendous retreat...and would absolutely embolden the enemy to continue their terror attacks.

Kerry doesn't believe we are at war. He believes that Bush over reacted to the threat against us.

[NutCrackerBoy]

There is something wrong with this story, like it is not true.

[sport]

Amen to that.

He will also immediately release every terrorists now detained. He will withdraw the troops from Iraq and Afganistan. He will go after privately owned firearms. He will raise taxes to the point of confincation. He will cut the Armed Forces until the point of extinction. He will politize the rest, turning them into yes men to be used against the civillian population.

That is just for starters.

He will appoint judges that would be radical by clinton standards. I know, I know! The Republican Senate would still have to confirm them, right? When has the Republicans in the Senate ever stood up to the democrats and media? A few times being called "mean spirited" and they would fold like an accordian.

About 6 to the 100th power of years after hell freezes over.

[carton253]

There is a link to the actual speech on this thread.

[Dog Anchor]

Oh fabulous...and what next, he is going to invite the members of the terrorist cells to our country and supply them with explosives?


Why not...Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee has already invited Bashar Assad.

[Mich0127]

Gotta love these guys..wow..they are trying to drive the US into the toilet!

How much does this guy actually hate this country?

Timmerman is a credible writer, just as Bil Gertz is.

Kenneth R. Timmerman - Senior Writer

Senior Writer Kenneth R. Timmerman has been tracking terrorists for 20 years. In 1982, Ken was taken hostage by Yasser Arafat's Fatah guerrillas in Lebanon, and spent 24 days in an underground cell under constant aerial and artillery bombardment. Later in the 1980s he covered the Iran-Iraq war for a variety of U.S. and international media, gaining first-hand knowledge of Iraq's deadly weapons buildup. His third book, The Death Lobby: How the West Armed Iraq (Houghton Mifflin, 1991) was called "our Bible" by Ambassador Rolf Ekeus, chief of the UN Special Commission for the Disarmament of Iraq. In 1998, he tracked renegade Saudi financier Osama Bin Ladin and his international terrorist network to the gates of the White Mountains in Afghanistan. His expose on Bin Ladin appeared in Reader's Digest just weeks before Bin Ladin's terrorists blew up U.S. embassies in Africa. As an unsuccessful candidate in the Republican U.S. Senate primary in Maryland in March 2000, Ken won the endorsement of Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, Congressman Curt Weldon, and many former Reagan administration officials including Ambassador Richard Armitage (now serving as Deputy Secretary of State), Dr. Dov Zakheim (Undersecretary of Defense) and Peter Rodman (Assistant Secretary of Defense). From 1994-2000, Ken focused on documenting the Clinton administration's sell-off of our national security to foreign interests. His 4th book, Selling Out America, tells the whole story and is prefaced by Congressman Christopher Cox (R,Ca). His fifth book, Shakedown!, was begun as a change of pace, and recounts the life and lies of Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. It will be available as of March 1, 2002 from Regnery Publishing. Ken joined Insight in January 2001. Many of his articles are available on-line in the Insight archive or through his own website.

Ken and his wife have 5 children and have lived in Maryland since 1993, after residing in Europe and the Middle East for 18 years.

Bump--

Let's see this story resurface on, say, Wednesday...you know, after Kerry has the nomination locked up.

John Kerry represents everything we don't want America to become, and everything America should fear in its government.

Stop Kerry now...if he's elected in 2004, there might not be a 2008 to vote him out.

bump for later

He's horribly scary. I'm pretty sure this whore is going to be humiliated in November, though we can't count our chickens, but I'm concerned about the damage he may cause just by opening his pie hole in the meantime.

Since this war has begun, I've always felt it would take us a long time to win, maybe a generation or 100 years, but that we could lose it very quickly. Now I think we could lose it in a single November day....

God Save our Republic.

[CyberAnt]

I believe Kerry has already said publically that he would put Nato in Afghanistan and the UN in Iraq, and bring our troops home.

If he does that - we'll need our troops here to fight the terrorists in the streets!! Get ready for war America!!

[goldstategop]

I wonder if Hamas related PACs are also on the Kerry campaign list.
