John Kerry Touts Al Qaida Successes
In quotes sure to bring delight to Osama bin Laden and his followers, Sen. John Kerry said Sunday that the reason the U.S. homeland hasn't been attacked by al Qaida since 9/11 is because the terror group is having so much success against U.S. forces in Iraq.
"Many people surmise that one of the reasons we haven't been attacked here, is because they are being so successful at doing what they need to do to attack us in Iraq and elsewhere," the failed presidential candidate told ABC's "This Week."
Kerry was responding to comments Friday by chief White House advisor Karl Rove, who credited President Bush with "protecting America against attacks."
"He is winning the war against terrorism, promoting liberty in regions of the world that have never known it," Rove told a Republican gathering in Washington, D.C.
Rove complained that Democrats like Kerry still had "a pre-9/11 worldview."
On Thursday, bin Laden released an audiotaped message that seemed to echo comments by Bush administration critics, including Sen. Kerry.
Asked whether bin Laden had expressed "almost the same" sentiments that Kerry had in the past, "CBS Evening News" anchorman Bob Schieffer told WABC Radio's Mark Simone: "Well, he did. That's exactly right.

Lurch going for Hillary's weak flank. Wonder what she'll have to part with to satisfy Lurchy in 2008.
Nearly half a Billion people were freed because of President Reagan.
Nearly 50 million were freed because of President Bush.
Over a million SE Asian were murdered because of Cut & Run Kerry!
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
What an absolutely worthless dumb bastard this guy is.
We have had 3 elections, are bringing this country out of the middle ages, and have whipped up on they armies that opposed us. My gosh, what an absolutely ignorant thing to say.
Uhhhh...yes. Those people are known as "Liberals".
Right-minded people (i.e., Conservatives) surmise that it's better to fight terrorism on their soil than ours.
There.
My .02.
Yeah, he spoke for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong.
Christmas in Cambodia is seared.... SEARED in his memory.
The problem with liberals like him, they actually believe their own lies. And that's pathetic.
Like your .02 cents.
His comments as an apologist--yes APOLOGIST-- for Al-Queda, go even further than Bin Laden's!! You would have expected a comment like that from Al Jazeera, NOT a US senator!
Has he no patriotism? Has he no shame?
Once a traitor - always a traitor.
OK...this is LONG PAST DUE for this TREASONOUS P.O.S.!

JOHN KERRY HAS FALLEN…AND KEEPS GETTING UP [GQ: Kerry wants to run in 2008; Dems say NO]
Kerry, a big mouth with a tin ear.
Incredible loser.
STFU Kerry.. oh yes you btw u went to Vietnam.. we know.. go away
"This actually should be the final nail in the coffin of any Presidential bid Kerry was planning."
I think the last nail was planted in his political coffin when he lost. Democrats keep their defeated around for attack dogs, but little else. He is about the only man in America unaware of that fact.
He is shoveling dirt on his own pine box rather enthusiastically with his latest comments.
You are exactly right in how insulting, self-serving and vile he is.
I believe somebody may have pushed the buttons again that make them loony just in time for the weekend talk shows.
I did not catch alot but a few dems this weekend asked about Rove's friday speech. It was the D-team is in a pre-9/11 world, and a few dems went off the deep-end again. Kerry takes the prize. At least some dems successfully changed the subject back to wiretaps without responding. Kerry responded directly, assertively, and absolutely stupid.
