"Protecting the American people from terrorist attacks and from vicious terrorists is not a Republican issue and is not a Democratic issue. It's an American issue and George Bush and Dick Cheney should know that."
=John Edwards

But............I thought John Kerry said this war on terror has been exaggerated by President Bush, that it is primarily being used as a fear tactic...and John Edwards says it is an AMERICAN ISSUE?

Well then JOHN...LET THE DEBATE BEGIN!

BUMP!

• "I think there's been an exaggeration; [President Bush] has exaggerated the threat of terrorism. There needs to be a refocusing. They are really misleading all of America... in a profound way."
  
  
• "The War on Terror is less... is occasionally military but it's primarily an intelligence and law enforcement operation."
  
  
• "The Bush Administration is so entralled by the idea of preemption and American military might. This is the consequence of the policy that regards legitimacy as largely a product of force and victory as primarily a triump of arms."
  
  
• "A threat that is real and imminent. That is the only justificatiion for going to war."

John Kerry

"Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike?

If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late.

Trusting in [their] sanity and restraint... is not a strategy, and it is not an option."

George Bush
