Bush Ad Distorts

Fact Check Retorts

Bush is trying to paint Kerry as weak on defense.

Well, we know who prior to September 11, 2001 said to Bob Woodward: "I was not on point" [in fighting terrorism before 9/11] and "I didn't feel the sense of urgency"[conerning terrorism]. - GW Bush

The greatest security lapse in American history occurred under Bush's watch. That fact is not in dispute.

The warnings were there. And post-9-11, instead of finishing off OBL, Bush moves vital resources to the Iraq war of wishful thinking. No terrorists there....at least none at the time. No WMD. None of Hussein's neighbors feared him. The Iraqis certainly did, but it was widely known in the region that Saddam's military capacity was decimated by a decade of UN(primarliy U.S.) sanctions. Yet Americans not only feared Saddam because they were told to by their governmet, and complicit media - astoundingly they still harbor long discredited beliefs about Hussein.

Sad. Damned sad.

Go to Fact Check to get the truth about Kerry's defense spending record..I'm entierly convinced that the Bush Doctrine is the greatest threat to our peace.

As far as terrorism is concerned, it's almost a non-issue in the grand scheme of things.

Americans have irrational fears. Do you drive a car? Do you know that you have a 66,500 percent greater chance of being killed in an auto accident than by terrorism? People drive cars with abandon.

Terrorism should play a tiny role in people's decision making processes. But people are, for the most part irrational.
