GOP STRATEGERY: Keeping You Stupid

"John Kerry had a point." - George Will, ABC's "This Week"

No kidding, George.

The Democratic Party doesn't do what the Republicans do. We operate on educating, planning and reality.
Bush, Cheney and Rummy want Americans uninformed, strapped to their terror alerts and scared witless. The one thing they don't want to do is educate us.

Snip…

Kerry stated over and over and over again during election 2004 that Bush and Rumsfeld let Osama and around 1,000 al Qaeda escape into the badlands bordering Pakistan. We've heard from Gary Berntsen, a Republican, who just happened to be one of the Special Ops guys on the ground that said this is exactly what happened. Former general Franks denies it. We recently heard from Cobra II authors, Michael R. Gordon and Bernard E. Trainor, that this is indeed a fact. Bush, Rummy and Franks didn't act fast enough, then refused Berntsen's plea to get Rangers on the ground to block bin Laden's escape, so he vanished at Tora Bora. Franks still denies it, but his case has now collapsed.

Now we find out that the London terror plot wasn't brought down through some "war" mechanism, but through highly skilled, patient police work; the very type of tactics John Kerry campaigned on during 2004 and said would work best against terrorism. He was right, but the Republicans attacked with stupid talking points yet again. "John Kerry had a point," said Will. That, my Democratic friends, is a fantastic understatement.
