John Kerry claimed Monday that if he's elected president he'll prevent all future terrorist attacks both inside the U.S. and around the world.
"I do know that America will be safe [from terrorist attack] under my leadership," Kerry boasted to NBC "Today Show" host Katie Couric.
A skeptical Couric interrupted, "But can you really, Senator, make that guarantee in all honesty that America will be safe under all circumstances?" Kerry responded, "We won World War II. We won the Cold War. We know what we can do when we put our minds to it. We haven't done a third of the things that we need to do to win the war on terror."
In the next breath Kerry broadened his pledge, saying, "I think you can make the world safe if we begin to deal with the problems - not just using military muscle in certain parts of the world, but also use our economic power, our ideals."
The guy is losing it. It's not unreasonable to think that these sorts of statements by Kerry seem very desperate...
It really pisses me off when he talks about the Cold War.
The idiot came to office in 1984 bashing Reagan every chance he got...
Stupid is as stupid does.
I think you are way harsh, dude.
I mean if Kerry can make people in wheel chairs get up and walk, I'm sure he can prevent another terrorist attack anywhere in the world.
I know that Kerry is telling the truth here, because he is a lawyer, like his running mate. And if youcan't trust a lawyer to tell the truth, then really -- who can you trust?
And there will be rainbows and flowers and rivers of chocolate running through the cities!!
Katie Couric was disgusted.
I sure feel a lot better now.
No! You're kidding! Is he really this stupid?
Welcome to FR.
Thanks KJ!
It POs me no end: Kerry fought on the Communist side of the Cold War.
Seeing the two main branches of Islam are at each other's throats, I don't see how abject, unconditional surrender to the Islamokazis (which is likely Ketchup Boy's plan) would keep us "safe".
...on the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Kerry responded, "We won World War II. We won the Cold War.
and we would have won the VietNam Conflict if it wasn't for Kerry!!!!
There is so much to be offended about in what he said. I personally don't even think President Bush gains anything by making a blanket promise of security when he speaks about terrorism. I cringe when he does it. You can not stop all the fanatics.

If Katie is questioning his sincerity, this guy is in trouble.
More proof that F'nKerry is psychotic. But I repeat myself.
(Liberalism is a mental illness. And when put into practice, criminal insanity.)
What does one give up for this peace? This promise has a familiar ring to it. . .besides just appeasement. . .
It sounds like Kerry is about to make a pact with the Devil himself. . .and not for 'peace' but for power.
But who will ask. . .
