Kerry: Terrorists Just Nuisance

We now know why Kerry has such a difficult time formulating a policy regarding terrorism. For him. . .what's the big deal?. . .they're just a nuisance! In a New York Times interview published today, Kerry said: ''We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance.'' I'd like to see him explain to 3,000 9/11 families that terrorists are "just a nuisance". . .I'd like to see him explain to 350 Beslan Russian families that terrorists are "just a nuisance". . .I'd like to see him explain to the Israeli families attacked by suicide bombers that terrorists are "just a nuisance". Kerry is living in LaLa land: a universe where the French and Russians didn't really sell arms to Saddam, where UN officials didn't corrupt the food for oil program, where by sheer personal "charm" he is going to convince our allies to join him in "the wrong war, at the wrong place, in the wrong time". Right!

"This warrior nation stuff has got to go."

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Neville Chamberlain would be so proud.

There is no comparison here to Chamberlain. None. Totally different situation. It is really sad to think the lesson of the appeasement of Hitler is that we never should negotiate, because that means we should always fight, and we have to be a bit more intelligent than that.

It is indeed sad to see the rise of anti-semitism and anti-Americanism simply because close to half of America favors not going to war no matter what, and because they don't like who won the Presidential election in 2000.

Remember Cynthia McKinney?

Appeasement of our enemies is not the solution. Someone here was saying how great it was we chose not to go to war whenever, not sure which coward president they were referring to. Tell that to the families of the Pearl Harbor victims and even those families of the 9/11 vicitms who have not already been bought by Soros and his legion.

You and your views are scary. All you can do is repeat the same old thing over and over. You attack the National Guard all the time making it seem like a bad thing. The National Guard are in Iraq right now in case you don't know. Be careful of what you say. Liberals are supposed to be so tolerant of everyone yet when it comes to Bush and the guard it is always in a debasing viewpoint. You call Bush chicken but you say Clinton was okay. This is a double standard. You sound like Kerry. Do you know where you stand?

The reason why Clinton was okay is because people KNEW he was against Vietnam so he didn't go. Bush claimed he was for Vietnam and went to the guard but didn't go fight.

Do you really know what the national guard does? It is a back-up.

Galanie, you're seriously going to tell this forum, that NOT ONE AMERICAN profited from the mismanaged and corrupt Oil for Food program?

And really, this thing about 'Hating your country' is completely ridiculous.

The US Congress is currently investigating the UN Food For Oil program - which by all accounts was mismanaged and extremely corrupt. If US citizens engaged in corruption, they will be identified and punished. When someone refers to the United States as "corrupt" and suggests that we defer decisions about our national defense to the UN, it raises legitimate questions about the values on which that person bases their decisions.

Funny, I watched the same debate you watched Friday night and Kerry said no such thing.
