Here is another Freeper's excerpt from the nyslimes article quoting stupid imbecile kerry:

Terrorism = Illegal Gambling? (Who Else but Kerry)
New York Times ^ | October 10, 2004 | Matt Bai

Posted on 10/10/2004 4:44:44 PM EDT by PhiKapMom

In an interview with Matt Bai published in today’s New York Times Magazine, Kerry made a very, very, very significant statement about how he would fight the war on terror. Kerry compared the war on terrorism with eradicating prostitution or illegal gambling.

''We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance,'' Kerry said. ''As a former law-enforcement person, I know we're never going to end prostitution. We're never going to end illegal gambling. But we're going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn't on the rise. It isn't threatening people's lives every day, and fundamentally, it's something that you continue to fight, but it's not threatening the fabric of your life.''

Terrorism, a nuisance?

This is the latest in a series of statements where Kerry views the war on terror more as a law enforcement operation than as a war. The article also has some other revealing tidbits about how Kerry’s closest advisers don’t believe we are in a war, and Kerry’s lack of a clear vision.
