The Kerry folk know that if the Johns win, then we (U.S.) will fight this battle in the ICC, not on the ground in Iraq (or Syria or Iran). And of course, if the U.S. has a Kerry foreign policy, we will not be fighting in Iraq or Afgahnistan, we will be fighting the islamofacists here.
**If you are a Kerry supporter reading this, you know I'm right in your heart and mind. If not, you're very naive, and your vote will put us all in danger.**

sKerry Ratchet says we have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, we must get back in line and take our "happy" pill. We must become lethargic and complacent. Numb reality. Say yes to drugs(sarcasm), it's good for the masses.
To the average schmuck American, crime and terrorism is horrifying.
To the rich, pampered, protected elitists, it is but a "nuisance".
And some of the biggest, most well-planned acts of long-term terrorism accomplished through those decades: the infiltration of their spawn past our border guards, where we welcomed them with open, tolerant arms to settle among us while we were content to let our own progeny be conveniently killed in the womb.

I guess I didn't see that opening in Rudy's remarks, though we share similar suspicions about how events have been labeled and tried. I keep thinking, hoping, dreaming, etc. that something is going to break that shows clearer evidence of an Iraq connection to the first WTC attack and OKC. (As an aside, some kind of insider back and forth like you refer to might account for Koch's support of the President.)
Violent domestic crime has always been much more than a mere 'nuisance' to its victims, and of course terror massacres in the '80s and '90s were far worse than a 'nuisance' to those affected and all of us concerned not to have Americans slaughtered by Islamo-fascists.
Only a rich gigolo liberal politician like Kerry could have regarded terrorism as a mere 'nuisance' in the 20 years before 9/11, as Americans were slaughtered in the Marine Barracks in Lebanon and all the subsequent attacks.
John "Hanoi" Kerry's analogy of terrorism to 'nuisance' crimes such as prostitution and gambling is ludicrous. In addition to the fact that terrorism was already a great and growing threat in the '90s when Kerry joined Clinton/algore in viewing it as merely a 'nuisance' (a distraction from their more important concerns), the acts involved in terrorism are so FUNDAMENTALLY different from relatively 'victimless' crimes such as gambling or prostitution.
Yes, one can find victims of the effects of activities such as gambling or prostitution, especially an unwitting spouse who sees their marriage, health, and/or finances wrecked..... and of course the organized crime behind gambling, prostitution, illegal drug trade, etc. is a huge concern and not merely a 'nuisance' either.
But how much worse is terrorism, even a single bombing or murder, which is NEVER a mere 'nuisance' to its victims, only to comfortable billionaire gigolo politicians like John "Vichy" Kerry..... Terrorism was bad enough when it
'merely' killed hundreds per year in brutal assaults and wounded and scarred so many more. But after 9/11, for any potential US president to long for the day when we can treat terrorism as a 'nuisance' crime is to show just how out of touch with reality that candidate is.
sKerry's comments would also explain his charges that President Bush and VP Cheney are exagerating the danger of terrorism. He obviously sees it as "just a problem" we have to solve... sometime... when it's convenient.
Whatever else we believe about Iraq, we absolutely know they had a training camp for Al Qaeda. We also know that attacks like the 9/11 atrocity, or the Breslen atrocity, take training and planning.
Thanks to the leadership of George W. Bush, who like Ronald Reagan put the interests of his people even over being liked abroad, Al Qaeda can no longer train in Iraq.
And, to quote Elrond, their list of allies grows thin.
Shalom.
Thanks for the wonderful ping to some wonderful remarks!
"We have to accept our Presidents as we find them, as witness Harry Truman and Calvin Coolidge. Neither was much as a public speaker."
Who says the President isn't a good public speaker? CNN, CBS, New York Times, and other leftist organizations. I am always captivated by what the President has to say. The MSM, in their support of their poster boy - Kerry, have diluted the oral capabilities of our President. For example, we probably would agree that the President did a far greater job at the second debate than the first, and the MSM are saying he lost. There is a double standard here. No one is asking Kerry the tough questions, like why doesn't he release his Vietnam War medical records? Why did he call our Vietnam Vets murderers? Why hasn't he apologized for his attacks on our Vets? Why did he meet with the North Vietnamese in violation of U.S. law? If someone, anyone, would ask him just one of these questions, how would he respond?

ROTFLOL!! Trying to stir the pot are we ..??
Na, I'm glad to keep Cheney. Let Rudy run for the Senate against Hillary, or perhaps put him on W's cabinet.
"This is so totally different than what I think was the major advance that President Bush made – significant advance that he made in the Bush Doctrine on September 20, 2001, when he said we’re going to face up to terrorism and we’re going to do everything we can to defeat it, completely. There’s no reason why we have to tolerate global terrorism, just like there’s no reason to tolerate organized crime.
The Democrats LOVE terrorism. To them, it's simply the right of free speech! Go ahead! Kill your neighbors.... it's ok.....we're very tolerant.

They misunderestimate him...... =)
I am getting truly frightened.
They're heavy into voter fraud, too. Talk to people who you think might be on the fence! Volunteer at your precinct! Turn your fear into action!
