Bill Hobbs has a great piece outlining how John Kerry is so focused on responding to terrorist attacks that he's forgetting to prevent them. Mr. Hobbs accuses Senator Kerry of wanting to put the US on the defensive rather than continue taking the fight to the terrorists as President Bush has done.
That, in brief, is the stark choice America faces in November. Do we keep the coach who is playing offense in the War on Terror, taking the battle to where the enemy lives and breeds, smashing their stronghold in Afghanistan, setting a trap for them in Iraq, and confronting Islamist terrorists by planting that which they loathe the most - freedom and democracy for Muslims - in the heart of their territory. Or do we hire a new coach who will switch to defense and focus on preparing the firefighters and police and "first responders' to douse the flames and dig the bodies from under the rubble of the next attack?Excellent post, and excellent point.
Why don't we just suspend the Constitution and save the nation the trouble of an election? I'm sorry Saint George has to be so inconvenienced to actually share the reasons for anything he is doing.
JT: The big problem is that the Democrats didn't have anyone credible to run against President Bush. It's a shame, because as you should know there are plenty of things I think Bush is screwing up, mostly domestic.
