While the Bush camp prattle on endlessly about the sadly-misnamed "war on terror," scaring Americans into believing we'll be less secure under John Kerry, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi hits the nail squarely on the head:
"Republicans should remember that the reason Osama bin Laden is still able to threaten the United States three years after the September 11th attacks is the utter failure of the Bush administration to catch him and destroy al Qaeda."
If al-Qaeda strike the U.S. again, no matter who is in office, the blame will lie squarely with Bush for not doing as he promised Americans on September 12, for not going after Osama and other Bush family buddies, instead manipulating the American public's collective fear by choosing an easier target in Saddam Hussein (a man who had little, if anything, to do with "terror" as it applies to the U.S.).
That is, without question, Kerry's strongest argument for winning the election and reclaiming this country from those whose greedy incompetence is slowly destroying it. That's what Democrats need to be shouting about. Wake up, John!
