Kerry Apologizes to Swiftee
This is Kerry's idea of an apology? "I wasn't talking about Swiftees, but about all the other vets. So, all the other vets were war criminals?

This alone would make one want to vote for Bush.

Kerry Fights Back?:
If Kerry's attempts to counter the Swift Boat veterans for truth is any example of his leadership style, we could expect a kerry administration to whine, tell the other guys to "cut that out" and maybe even ask the UN to "make them stop".
Wouldn't it be more adult to just face the charges with rebuttal, rather than just demand that they stop making the charges? For that matter, why doesn't he stop making this campaign about what he did for 4 months 35 years ago?

To Fight Like the Fundamentalists
Belmont Club
This pretty much says it all:A wag once suggested that the War on Terror could end in either of two ways. The Islamic fundamentalist could become like the infidel and within a generation acquire the material wealth and technology whose lack has been their weakness. Or the infidel could become like the Islamic fundamentalist for a day and the end the fight as the fundamentalist would. I thought it was funny once. Let's win this war soon or be prepared to pay the price.

Pre-9/11 Surveillance

Those who would say that the effect of US action against terror has made us less safe should consider this carefully. Even before 9/11 surveillance was carried out on more US targets. The fruits of the War on Terror are being seen now as those enemy plots are being discovered, exposed and hopefully thawarted. The best defense is a good offense.
