Krauthammer said on Inside Washington today that Kerry was one of the only politicians in Washington calling for hunting down al Qaeda and destryong them in 1998. So he's got his good sides and his bad sides. I disagree with many of his tactics, but the 9/11 commission is a necessary step in dealing with the aftermath of a major attack on our mainland -- the first in 194 years -- in our democratic republic. We are an open society, and it's only right that we go after the details surrounding this horrific event. The commission has been overly politicized, but that was inevitable.

Just imagine the reactions of Americans if the 9/11 commission hadn't been allowed, or hadn't been prosecuted by someone who took an aggressive approach? It would be far worse for GW then.

Kerry said al Qaeda had declared war on us, so we should declare war on them. Right on! Too bad nobody was listening. Too bad Kerry wasn't strong enough to make himself heard.

Bob Kerrey is an egotistical ass and more than a little racist. Any points he had were taken off the board this week.
