Threat or Nuisance: A Handy Terrorist Guide
In January 2004, John Kerry revealed his September 10th mindset regarding terrorism when he said that he sees terrorism as "primarily an intelligence and law enforcement operation." That's the same Clintonian approach to the problem that allowed al-Qaeda to grow unchecked before 9/11. Despite his recent strong statements about fighting the war on terror (almost always followed by a "but," however) Kerry still doesn't seem to understand the seriousness of the war we're fighting. In a recent New York Times Magazine interview, Kerry stated, "We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance." A nuisance? When were terrorists ever a "nuisance" to the innocent people they murdered? Could Kerry really be saying that it was right to ignore them as long as they only bombed other countries... and that it would be that way again? How can we ever go back to the ignorant, blind "place we were" before 9/11... and would we want to?



What exactly is a "nuisance level" of terrorism, anyway? How were terrorists only a nuisance before 9/11, when they suddenly (in Kerry's world) became a threat? How can you tell when your terrorists are at that mythical, tolerable September 10th level? A handy guide might help.

Perhaps when terrorists are reduced to the threat level of high school juvenile delinquents, we can treat them as such. As long as they continue to plot mass murder and destruction, I suggest we continue to fight them -- and those who train, harbor and support them -- exactly as we've begun.

Sad that the democraps cant understand this stuff. I know its too complicated for them to understand so maybe this will help them get the facts straight.

Good idea, pickle.

You have that website bookmarked, right?

I love these little e-mails or whatever that oversimplify everything. Nuisance-Threat-Nuisance-Threat, it reminds me of that e-mail posted a while ago with the father making his 8-year-old son cry with his neighborhood-terrorist analogies.

Why should terrorist be an intelligence and law enforcement operation? Because you can't fight a war on terror. There's no Peoples Republic of Terroronia you can go in and disarm.

It's like trying to fight a war on computer viruses. Going around bombing the hackers won't do any good, you've got to set up firewalls (law enforcement) and come up with better, more secure programming (intelligence).

Oh the intelligence that John Kerry wanted to financially cripple?

Or maybe the defense that Bush boosted up from 10 billion - 30 billion.

You do the math genious.

Polls are conducted to make people who took statistics in highschool/college feel better about wasting so many days/hours/months of their lifes.

Oh ok.

So all the dummycraps who were saying h00ray we won the debates look at the polls? Much like yourself are just a way to make you feel better? Lol you and the rest of the democratic posters here just get dumber by the minute.

I don't think Skeet has ever said "Hooray, Kerry won".

You argue worse than Varrus.

Read the threads on debates before you post Jophiel it might make ya post some true things first.

And its funny how skeetedon mentions wetlands when the OP is about Kerrys idiotic nuisance and threat definitions.

idiot

"See, the terrorists have already lost Elsahn"

You couldn't be anymore correct. I dont fear them. I know with Dubya as president I don't have to worry about them. But with Kerry as president... how does that saying go...

"Kerry lied while many died" Referring to 1971-1975

Well adios ladies its time to go to work.

Be back on at 1am.

There are several thousand charred corpses that would beg to differ.

Oh yes, and please link to the post where Skeet used a poll to determine the winner of a debate.

You make the accusation, you prove it.

Coalition of the Wild-Eyed?

Yeah, I've noticed it. Stick 'n stones, etc etc et al.

You forget Democrap, John Flip-floppin' Kerry, Bill Clintoon, the Ambiguously Gay Duo, and Jacka$$ party.

Um, if you read the debate threads you'd notice that Joph does in fact read and even contribute. Instead of starting up a separate thread for each silly little bit of propaganda you want to push. I swear, varrus and Elsahn are looking more and more like the same person.
