Some folks still do not seem to understand that crushing terrorism is complex, as opposed to Bush's plan, which is conveniently simple. That's why Kerry seems undecided and equivocal. Solving the terrorist problem is not just a matter of smugly spewing rhetoric about how we're not going to back down, etc. Whatever president eventually has to undo the damage being done right now, will have to use a multi-pronged approach.

And the DO NOTHING aware goes to Dubya, definitely, as does the flip-flop award. We're diverting resources away from crushing the terrorists, in order to clobber some muslims for political gain. Not so much troops I am told, as scarce intelligence resources. Apparently, there is a mountain of documents captured in Afghanistan that still need to be translated, and we have too few translators....many of whom have been deployed from Afghanistan to Iraq. And here's an interesting couple of quotes for anyone thinking Dubya is taking the battle to BinLaden, but Kerry would DO NOTHING:

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. IT is our No. 1 priority, and we will not rest until we find him" President Bush on 9/13/01

"I don't know where he (Osama bin Laden) is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." President Bush, six months later.

Now what does this say about his resolve in fighting terrorism, and what does this say about his supposedly steadfast leadership? And since the last quote was made as we were gearing up for the Iraq invasion, what does this say about how Dubya prioritizes political objectives versus national security objectives?
