Kerry's ideas for dealing with terrorism

I have no confidence in John Kerry's plan to deal with the issues raised by 9/11. The following is an excerpt from one of his speeches.

Quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s time for a new national security policy guided by four new imperatives: First, we must launch and lead a new era of alliances for the post 9-11 world.

Second, we must modernize the world’s most powerful military to meet the new threats.

Third, in addition to our military might, we must deploy all that is in America’s arsenal -- our diplomacy, our intelligence system, our economic power, and the appeal of our values and ideas.

Fourth and finally, to secure our full independence and freedom, we must free America from its dangerous dependence on Mideast oil.

His first point should scare Europe . John Kerry will take all terrorist problems to either the UN or NATO which will pull you even deeper into the level of involvement. I want less American involvement in the UN........not more.

On his second point how can he do that with a voting record of voting against any expenditures for the military?

The third point shows a large naivete on his part. Does he think that Al Queda will be impressed by any of these things? Surely not.

And for the fourth item I would simply LOL.
