I don\'t think that\'s what he said at all.  I think you\'re reading something else into it.  The gist of his answer is that we need to attack this problem of Terrorism vigorously until it is reduced and weakened to the point where it is no longer evokes a life-threatening fear in our day-to-day lives.  He\'s acknowledging that terrorism can never be absolutely eradicated, but it can be beaten down through strong effort and continued vigilence.

Not sure you get that out of thie:

If you are truly saying that Kery thinks we should irradicate terrorism so that one day it will just be a nuissance, then shit, vote for Bush.  He\'s been doing just fine.

Haha...that\'s where you go for his plans.

Launch And Lead A New Era Of Alliances
The threat of terrorism demands alliances on a global scale - to utilize every available resource to get the terrorists before they can strike at us. As president, John Kerry will lead a coalition of the able - because no force on earth is more able than the United States and its allies.  

Now who is accusing whom of not living in reality?  France and Germany aren\'t sending troops.  This isn\'t a plan.  I think Kerry needs to do a webpage update since the countries he was banking on have already stated this isn\'t going to happen.


Modernize The World\'s Most Powerful Military To Meet New Threats
John Kerry and John Edwards have a plan to transform the world\'s most powerful military to better address the modern threats of terrorism and proliferation, while ensuring that we have enough properly trained and equipped troops to meet our enduring strategic and regional missions.

Bush is already doing this.  

Deploy All That Is In America\'s Arsenal
The war on terror cannot be won by military might alone. As president, John Kerry will deploy all the forces in America\'s arsenal - our diplomacy, our intelligence system, our economic power, and the appeal of our values and ideas - to make America more secure and prevent a new generation of terrorists from emerging.

WTF?  Diplomacy, intelligence and economic power - Bush is doing all of this.  Our values will stop the creation of new terrorists?  This isn\'t a plan this is rhetoric - I agree that Bush is fighting the War on Terror with the same misguided assumption.  People in the Middle East may want democracy, but the fact is they don\'t want our culture or our values which they see as part of what is wrong with America.  Extremists only want one of two things - to kill in the name of their God or to see the whole world united under Islam.

As for the article you posted:  It states "Instead, he said, the Iraq campaign is having the opposite effect, drawing Islamic extremists from other parts of the world to join the battle."

Drawing them from perhaps launching an attack on US soil?  Guess they didn\'t think of that one.

Think tanks

:rolleyes:

Wrong.  Two guys are running for president.  One of them created a problem (the war in Iraq).  Both say they can solve the problem.  Do you think I\'m going to trust the bonehead who caused the problem to now fix it?  Think again.

And both wanted to go into war......hmmmmm

And both of them had the same information, Kerry trusted Bush with his vote what does that say???

Kerry has the luxury of hindsight.  "I would have done everything different."  HA!

I wonder if Bush would be doing the same campaign if Gore went to war?  Bah, that guy never would have even invaded Afghanistan.

Ditto.

When you\'re trying to solve a problem. For example a calculus problem, you go back after you work it out. Examine and decide if it\'s right or not. Then you\'ll see the mistakes you didn\'t see before.

On the other hand Bush thinks he is right. Bush thinks there is no global warming. Regardless of the thousands of events that have gone wrong he doesn\'t change his mind. He will never see the mistakes. Therefor he won\'t be very smooth in solving the problem.

And Mjps about that comment.

Kerry TRUSTED Bush with his vote. Bush misused it. What would you do?

That is good spin - "I trusted him with my vote." :rolleyes:

Funny how he was capable of voting against the first Gulf War without any problems.  Flip - flop.

No one in this entire country was not expecting to go to war with that vote.  To even think for a second that they voted in favor of striking Iraq and didn\'t plan to do it is ridiculous.  THe inspections were a joke.

I don\'t understand why conservatives want their lives to be consumed by terrorism. You would rather terrorism be the focus of every day of your lives instead of being relegated to a mere nuisance? That makes NO sense to me.

What is the point of the war on terror if it accomplishes nothing but keeping us afraid and doesn\'t prevent another attack? Bush HIMSELF said the war on terror can not be won and Cheney said another attack is inevitable. What the fuck! What is this damn war on terror doing?! We have lost over 1000 of our troops and we are not safer than we were in 2001?! Come on now that shit doesn\'t make sense and people are walking around giving Bush glorious ball washings like he has accomplished something. Fuck that.

I have seen what Bush\'s approach has done and nothing has changed except the fact that we are in more danger and have less jobs. I just don\'t see how we can leave Bush in office and not expect a draft in the coming years.  I\'ll take my chances with Kerry.

Terrorism is not some trivial matter. It\'s better if it\'s completely squashed out. We don\'t want it to be a nuisance that could come back and haunt us.

Rome thought barbarian raids were a minor nuisance. Look what happened to them. They\'re history.

I am not consumed by terrorism and I don\'t know anyone who is consumed by it but when you have the next pres. (possibly) saying that he will attack after we are attacked and now he wants terror to be just a nuisance then I say screw him and we better get our collective heads on straight because I am not willing to let another 9/11 and another 3000 people die because we are approaching this issue like it\'s a round-up of corner whores. *take a deep breath*

If he didn\'t mean to say it this way he better clarify it tonight but what f\'n good will that do when we all know he\'ll just nuance it to death depending on who he\'s talking to.

You can not eradicate terrorism completely. Its just not going to happen. With that understanding if it is not a minor nuisance than it is a major portion of your everyday life. I would take the nuisance over the major portion anyday.

Terrorism/Prostitution are nuisances because you want to wipe them out but you can\'t. With that in mind you do everything you can to prevent it and deter people from commiting it. Thats all you can do. Its just NOT possible to kill every single terrorist in the world.
