WASHINGTON -- Wolves prowl through a forest in a new television ad that says "weakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm," a suggestion by President Bush's campaign that terrorists would seize on a John Kerry presidency.
"In an increasingly dangerous world, even after the first terrorist attack on America, John Kerry and the liberals in Congress voted to slash America's intelligence budget by $6 billion," an ominous voice in the ad claims. "Cuts so deep they would have weakened America's defenses. And weakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm."
Using powerful imagery, the ad suggests that the country would be vulnerable with Kerry at the helm and seeks to make the case that Bush's opponent doesn't understand the threat terrorists pose to the United States. It also attempts to undermine Kerry's credibility by portraying him as someone who shouldn't be trusted with keeping the country safe.

I hope they run it in heavy rotation in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan and-- to really scare them-- Oregon and Wisconsin.
WHAT credibility???
Outstanding. I hope it is as effective as its description.
we should have a pool on exactly what time the first dem denouncement of this ad takes place.
Read the article. They already did.
Sounds like a great ad!
This must be the ad Rich Lowry was referring to over at NRO...very "Bear"-like from the 80's.
Kerry wants us to believe that he can reason with and be more sensitive to the rabid animals. Ask any Marine who was on Tarawa Island or Iwo Jima or Okinawa or any number of other similar places how you reason with such mad animals.
Duran Duran is doing the Soundtrack...
"Hungry Like the Wolf."
Sounds almost like the excellent "There is a Bear in the Woods" ad that Reagan ran before he was first elected.
I remember it sent a chill up my spine when I was a kid.
yep - I figured that after I posted based on the excerpt - that there would already be one weenie quoted in the story.
The Dems are so clueless they don't realize people "get it" when they object to something. That something, obviously, is effective. How they reportedly have half the country in the Kerry-Edwards "thrall" is completely beyond me.
Nice! I like the imagery very much, and I also remember seeing the Reagan bear commercial.
Just reading the excerpt tells me I don't want to click on the rest of the article - a "suggestion"? Puh-leeze!
I really don't think half the country is. My wife, who is as apolitical as they come, routinely mocks kerry.
I think a lot of the polling going on is designed to make news rather than report it. Or to gin up the numbers to make the planned vote fraud more believable.
Sounds great.
There's a bear in the woods....
