Edwards Says Bush's Anti-Terror Campaign Is Just Three Little Words

After dismissing the phrase "war on terror" as a useless slogan, former senator John Edwards (D-N.C.) outlined his plan to fight terrorism yesterday.

He identified six core principles in his terrorism strategy: restructure the military to respond to today's needs; rely on proven methods in intelligence gathering; hold regular meetings with military leaders; create a "Marshall Corps" of 10,000 that could be used to prop up weak or failing countries; invest in equipment; and create a budget process to reflect security programs in all agencies across the federal government.

"Today, as a result of what George Bush has done, we have more terrorists and fewer allies," Edwards said in remarks in New York. He took aim at the anti-terrorism strategies of Republican candidates, saying they are trying to be "George Bush on steroids." Singling out Rudolph W. Giuliani, he said that if the former New York mayor "runs a campaign for the presidency saying, 'I will give you four more years of what this president has done,' he's allowed to do that. He will never be elected president, but he is allowed to do that."

Ann Coulter was the first to publicly comment on the feminine qualities of John Edwards!

What three words does John Edwards have for John Kerry the world wonders?

Fag!

Pray for W and Our Troops

I hope Edwards gets the nomination. Just another Mondale.

Ed at Captain's Quarters devastates this silly idea. Poverty doesn't cause terrorism, period.

And in a few months Edwards will be complaining “I coulda’ been a contenda”.

Jon & Jon were a little to close for comfort.

"In the thirteenth century, the fabled (and almost certainly mythical) Children's Crusade set out to bring peace to the Holy Land. According to the legend, a young boy proselytized throughout central Europe that Jesus had told him in a vision that an army of pure children could liberate Jerusalem just by showing up, and that the waters of the Mediterranean would part to greet them when they arrived in Italy. They set out in boats instead, sail to Tunisia -- where they all get sold into slavery and are never heard from again, even in legend. " -Ed at Captain's Quarters

Thanks for the link!

WHAT A MORON!!!

[Jorge]

Can you imagine this guy in charge of our national security?

[garjog]

I wonder what kind of hair cut the terrorists would give John Edwards if they got the chance?

“A little off the top, please.”

[USMCPOP]

John (My haircut is worth more than you are) Edwards said what? Guess I wasn’t paying attention. BAH!

[do the dhue]

strategy: restructure the military to respond to today's needs;

Didn't I hear Rumsfeld say this?

rely on proven methods in intelligence gathering;

Is he talking about Human Intel, that we have been trying to fix from the Clinton years?

hold regular meetings with military leaders

He probably wouldn't understand one acronym that the Generals would use.

invest in equipment

What an idear!!! Now, are we talking about investing in making equipment better, or are we talking about investing in funding our Troops?

create a "Marshall Corps" of 10,000 that could be used to prop up weak or failing countries

We have the Marines. I hate to ask this, but how much would this cost? Would you need an air Force to support the Marshals? Like I said, we have the Marine Corp.

create a budget process to reflect security programs in all agencies across the federal government.

I am not to sure about this one. Are we talking about creating more spending?

create a "Marshall Corps" of 10,000 that could be used to prop up weak or failing countries

He won't support Iraq (a failed state in his estimation) but is ready to send to the world's hotspots a corp of 10,000 'peace volunteers'? Either he is suggesting a shadow army or he is such a Damn fool that he needs medicated. Either way this piece of filth must never allowed to be President.

[samtheman]

As bad as Mondale is/was (is the dork still with us?), you insult him by comparing him to this drag queen.

[ExTexasRedhead]

You’re insulting morons. Ted Kennedy is worse than any moron. In fact, morons are the voters in Massachusetts that put this alcoholic obese criminal in office for life.

[do the dhue]

prop up weak or failing countries

He would prop up Venezuela, North Korea, and Iran. He wouldn't send defenders to Iraq.

[sgtbono2002]

Edwards may be great at suing Doctors,but he doesnt know squat about terrorism.

The only time he is in terror is when the Beauty shop closes .

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I see Johnnycake won the Cocoa Butter Open down in SC, or at least something like it from his last Ioway appearance. His tan comes close to the John Kerry “full orange” but its a little more chestnut. A’int science wonderful ?
