GREENVILLE, S.C. — Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts said during last night's Democratic presidential debate that the threat of terrorism has been exaggerated.
"I think there has been an exaggeration," Mr. Kerry said when asked whether President Bush has overstated the threat of terrorism. "They are misleading all Americans in a profound way."

Hopefully, President Bush will be ready to respond to this attack tonight. A simple "Senator Kerry, if you bother to show up for your Intelligence Committee meetings, you'd know that American's were NOT mislead"!
FRIGHTENING--I LOVE IT. IT IS JUST H I M! Mr. Big Empty Head!
What an a$$.
Hi,
Are u guys going to beat Florida??

Bump.
Bump.
Bump.
Bump.
Agreed, but I know W knows. Methinks W will bring it to the forefront soon, when people are paying a lot of attention...
Not enough just to mention it in the debate. They need to get video footage of Kerry saying it and broadcast it on TV and send it out over the web.
Perhaps Kerry will tell us why we have to shut down all shipping to inspect every incoming container.

"We were not at war in the 1990s."
(missing the point entirely that the War on Terror began in earnest with the bombing of the WTC in 1993 and bin Laden's subsequent repeated (and unanswered) declarations and acts of war against America).

State of the Union Address, The U.S. Capitol, January 28, 2003
"I listened to what Senator Kerry had to say in Boston [Kerry acceptance speech], and, with all due respect to the Senator, he views the world as if we had never been attacked on September 11th. The job of the Commander-in-Chief, as he sees it, is to use America's military strength to respond to attacks. But September 11th showed us, as surely as anything can, that we must act against gathering dangers - not wait for to be attacked. That awful day left some 3,000 of our fellow citizens dead, and everything we have learned since tells us the terrorists would do worse if they could, and that they will even use chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons against us if they can. In the world we live in now, responding to attacks is not enough. We must do everything in our power to prevent attacks -- and that includes using military force."
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ONE:
LEHRER: New question. Two minutes, Senator Kerry.
What is your position on the whole concept of preemptive war?
KERRY: The president always has the right, and always has had the right, for preemptive strike. That was a great doctrine throughout the Cold War. And it was always one of the things we argued about with respect to arms control.... But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons....
LEHRER: Ninety seconds.
BUSH: Let me -- I'm not exactly sure what you mean, "passes the global test," you take preemptive action if you pass a global test.
My attitude is you take preemptive action in order to protect the American people, that you act in order to make this country secure.

JOHN KERRY:
"We should not have gone to war, knowing the information we know today....
DIANE SAWYER:
"So, it was not worth it."
JOHN KERRY:
"You should not -- eh -- it depends on the outcome, ultimately, and that depends on the leadership. And we need better leadership to get the job done successfully. I would not have gone to war knowing there was no imminent threat, weapons of mass destruction, there was no connection with al Qaeda and to Saddam Hussein. The president -- eh -- misled the American people. Plain and simple. Bottom line."
DIANE SAWYER:
"So, if it turns out okay, it was worth it? -- "
JOHN KERRY (interrupts) :
"No."
DIANE SAWYER:
"...but now it wasn -- ?"
JOHN KERRY (interrupts again) :
"It was a mistake to do what he did but we have to succeed now that we've done it.

It really seems pretty obvious doesn't it? Silent screen displaying scenes from 9/11, Russia school attack, and Madrid ending with John Kerry's voice saying the threat of terrorism is exaggerated.
That would be it, end of story, thanks for your participation Senator Kerry we have some wonderful parting gifts for you. But the Republicans continue to not have the nerve to do what they need to do to win (much like Bush Sr.). Maybe some 527 group will have the courage to do it.
Over and over.
