So, what's your rational for Bush taking Kerry's statement on "terrorism as a nuisance" out of context? I thought I read where one of the generals had made a similar statement.

I caught only the last bit of the debate. So, Kerry's statement on "terrorism as a nuisance" . . .missed it. But, yeah, I know others have spun that one.
In-context I see what Kerry is getting at. He even has a valid point. (for a change) The problem that I see is that Kerry is only trying to put on a face, which is polar-opposite to Bush .. ..pandering to the ABB crowd.
Sure Kerry can talk about how terrorism hasn't been successful here in the last 3 years. But that hardly means that we can pretend that it is gone.
One of the few thing that I believe that the Federal Govt needs to get right . . .be highly responsible for, is
Defence.
Kerry seems to want ot say
"eh . . lets talk about . .. focus our efforts, on moving our unemployment form 5.4% to 5.1%.
what good is super-low employment if your city is gone?
ANd What's the unemployment in Europe? . . ~15% (?)
Squawking about unemployment is just a red-herring for Kerry.
We have a lot of 'good' happening here. We all saw how much 9/11 threatened that. We all saw how willing and motivated these terrorists are to mass killings. I think Bush has the right priorities, AND he has shown that he can handle multiple priorities.
