THE WARNING KERRY IGNORED

[teletech]

Kinda puts a damper on the whole "Bush failed" smear campaign, doesn't it?

It SHOULD but remember these are DemocRATS. THEY don't admit failure!

John Kerry September 12, 2001

"Clearly there were two failures of security at Logan Airport," said Sen. John F. Kerry, who stressed he did not think the security problem was isolated. "It's not just Logan. If you have four hijackings in one day, you have a national problem."

What Truly Sucks, is that the Mainstream Media will ignore this and continue Singing the Praises of John Scary.

There is a spirited discussion on this topic on DU. It even has some semblance of a rational one we can see on FR.

The main point pinkos are making is that Kerry did the right thing and passed it on onto DOT bureaucrats, and it is actually Bush's fault that nobody paid attention.

I must admit pinkos came close this time, but no cigar again. DOT Secretary is Democrat Norman Y. Mineta. He served as U.S. Secretary of Commerce under President Clinton.

Was it a mistake to trust a Democrat with such an important post? May be, but it is a completely another question, which should be answered in the general context of 'can we trust Dims with anything?'

Also, it is very interesting to dug out what exactly Kerry wrote of DOT officials.

We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried.

The real challenge is for us to get this type of information out to the general voting public. I don't mean the 40% of the populace that will vote for Bush, or the 40% that will vote for Kerry (no matter what the facts). I mean the 20% of undecided and independent voters. They need to be educated about what Kerry is really like and the threat that his election posses to our nation's security and to the global War on Terror.

We are in the midst of World War III. We better start acting like it.

I would like to hear why Kerry didn't take this seriously. Is there more to this story than we now know? As I read this a chill ran up my spine. Here we have a man that had information that, had it been handled properly, would have saved countless lives and he is now running for president. God help this country if Kerry is elected!

This is allegedly an article from NBC News dated 9/16/2001 where Brian Sullivan tells a little different story.

Sullivan says Sen. Kerry responded to his letter and asked the Department of Transportation's Inspector General look into the matter.

"I think Sen. Kerry did get it to the right people and they were about to take action."

Does this guy have a book coming out or something?

[Skywarner]

"But a Kerry aide said not to bother. "You're not a constituent," Elson was told just a few weeks before the hijackings. He went ballistic, warning that if Kerry didn't act soon he'd risk the lives of planeloads of his actual constituents. That warning now looks like prophecy: At least 82 Kerry constituents were murdered aboard American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175."

It appears as if the Kerry camp has some blood on its hands.

What did he know, and when did he know it? Why did he FAIL to take the issue seriously!?!

I cut/pasted your URL to "full story." Didn't work for me.

It's interesting that Kerry's book was called "The New War," since Kerry is now taking the stance that the war on terror is over-hyped, is NOT a war, but rather a matter for police action.

[Troublemaker]

What ever happened to this? Seems like a valid campaign issue.
