9/11 widows slam Bush

[cal04]

A group of widows of September 11 victims on Monday slammed President George W Bush's record against terrorism, accusing the US leader of making the United States less safe and of bringing terrorism to Iraq.

"He has made us less secure," said Monica Gabrielle, a member of the widows' group, which is supporting Democratic White House hopeful John Kerry in the November 2 election. "There are many things that have not been done here at home which could have been," she said in a telephone conference with reporters.

"This president had three years with the Republican congress to get so much more done to make us safer." Gabrielle decried what she called Bush's "stubborn arrogance". "How can we trust you to lead us in the future when you have failed so poorly in the past?" asked another widow, Mindy Kleinberg. "Now we brought the terrorism to Iraq," said a third widow, Lorie Van Auken.

"The terrorists that we create today may come back to attack our children tomorrow." The group endorsed Kerry last month and decried Bush's response to the September 11 attacks that killed nearly 3 000 people.

3. I'm always amazed Kerry hasn't brought that up more, Bush has

a Republican congress and Senate and his policies are SO BAD that he can't even get his own party to agree with him! Bush is a loser in a BIG BUSH way.

4. The DNC needs to make a TV commercial featuring them, ASAP

Time to Get It On. Drive bush's approval into the 30s.

6. 0rganism..YES! And quickly! NJ is too close !

NJ lost over 700 residents in 9/11. Bush was there today, kissing up.

Why Kerry hasn't pointed out that bush HAD an Anti Terrorism Czar in Richard Clarke, and chose to ignore him, is beyond me! What is Kerry waiting for?

As it is, bush can't get enough flu vaccine, how can he "protect" us from bio terrorism?

Bush is incompetent , when it comes to security. Come on Kerry, get on it, starting with 9/11.

7. Meanwhile, we all get to hear about Lisa Beemer.

She hasn't spoken out in favor of bu$h, has she? Have any of the 9/11 victims families? I don't know of any.

8. Wasn't she at the RNC? I didn't exactly watch, so I may be mistaken

Channel surfing one of those nights led me to believe she was there and on stage.
