Kerry says Bush administration scaring Americans over war on terror


ST LOUIS, Missouri, Sept 10 (AFP) - Democratic White House challenger John Kerry on Friday accused President George W. Bush's administration of trying to scare Americans over the war on terror.

Speaking on the eve of commemorations for the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, Kerry said the battle against terrorism should be more than a political battle in the United States.

Kerry told an election rally in St Louis, Missouri that the administration was "talking about the war on terror, trying to scare Americans.

"It is real, we've got a war, we've got a problem but we should do more than just talk about it, try to scare people about it and make it a political issue," Kerry charged.

I post, you decide:

Kennedy says Bush makes U.S. more vulnerable to nuclear attack

WASHINGTON (AP) The Bush administration's failure to shut down al-Qaida and rebuild Iraq have fueled the insurgency and made the United States more vulnerable to a nuclear attack by terrorists, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said Sunday.

In a speech prepared for delivery at George Washington University on Monday, Kennedy said that by shifting attention from Osama bin Laden to Iraq, Bush has increased the danger of a ''nuclear 9/11.''

''The war in Iraq has made the mushroom cloud more likely, not less likely,'' he said in the remarks released late Sunday.

Instead of more image makers, pollsters and flacks, the Kerry campaign needs a continuity team, they can't seem to keep track of their position on any given day.

Do the Dems really think mere words erases the horrendous images of Beslan in the minds of American women? If anything, scare mongering will only heighten the unease and fear and that helps Bush, not Kerry.

It seems odd to me that you don't see the course being followed by Kerry. It's obvious that the point is: We should be spending more time going after bin Laden instead of of getting side-tracked in Iraq. Stop making a political issue out of what's going on and actually go out and apprehend bin Laden. Yeah, now we have a lot of work that needs to be dealt with in Iraq, but in the meantime, the one guy we know is capable of attacking us on our own soil is chillin' out in the mountains planning another attack and Bush is doing barely anything about it.

Okay, I'll bite, exactly how does Kerry plan to do that?
