Bush campaign talkings points were seen in full force today at Ridge's
Homeland Security press conference:
RIDGE: This kind of information is the result of the President's leadership in the war against terror. The reports that have led to this alert are the result of offensive intelligence and military operations overseas, as well as strong partnerships with our allies around the world, such as Pakistan. Such operations and partnerships give us insight into the enemy so we can better target our defensive measures here and away from home
Note the use of "military operations overseas" and "partnerships with allies". You couldn't have a better rebuttal to the DNC.
In the questions that followed, Ridge reemphasized these Bush campaign talking points. Unfortunately I don't yet have the transcripts. Thoughts?
