A Suggestion For Kerry Tomorrow Night
Sometime tomorrow night, after George W. Bush has attacked John Kerry once again for not being as able to protect this country from terrorism as he is, I hope that Mr. Kerry turns towards Mr. Bush and says "In three years you and your Attorney General have left thousands of Al Qaeda wiretap recordings go untranslated which can provide valuable information about terror threats. You've had three years Mr. Bush, and you haven't done a thing with all these tapes you and Mr. Ashcroft insisted you needed to fight the war on terror. I'd say you've dropped the ball once again. The problem Mr. Bush is that it is you who is not tough or effective enough."
Please, just hit him between the legs with that one.
I know that a lot of the things Bush does are "beyond the pale" or "unconscionable" but this is truly, deeply, profoundly, and shockingly awful. It cuts right to the heart of the charge that Bush is not serious about the War on Terrorism. Republicans have mastered the art of attacking someone on their strengths. It is time that Kerry attacks Bush directly and unflinchingly on Bush's (perceived) strength on terrorism.
