"Bush is vulnerable on both the southern and northern borders but if the attackers get wet crossing, he'll lose."
Bush isn't vulnerable we all are vulnerable and it infuriates me that this issue hasn't and won't come up during the campaign unless it's from some third party.
What do you think Kerry's solution to border security is? I've never heard him discuss this issue.
Yes, you are correct of course but we were speaking political consequences. Kerry's positio is far to the left of Bush. They are both to the left of the American public. Whoever is in office will pay a political price and some Americans will pay the ultimate price.
It is also my view that another attack will not net the desired effect in America however. We will not appease, we will demand that Congress declare war anew and hunt down and kill those responsible, their enablers and those that harbored them no matter who is President.
