"Terror as Nuisance" comment came from Poppy Bush's National Sec. Advisor

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

While Junior is running around, working himself into a lather over Kerry referring to the reduction of the "war on terror" to a "nuisance" level and holding it up as JUST ONE MORE REASON why he is UNFIT to lead our great nation and PROTECT US from the EVIL DOERS, the Kerry Campaign enlightens us with THIS entry in their Rapid Response Center:

They Said It: Gen. Scowcroft on Making Terrorism a Nuisance

Gen. Brent Scowcroft (ret.): "Can we win the war on terrorism? Yes, I think we can, in the sense that we can win the war on crime. There is going to be no peace treaty on the battleship Missouri in the war on terrorism, but we can break its back so that it is a horrible nuisance and not a paralyzing influence on our societies."

General Scowcroft served as the National Security Advisor to both Presidents Ford and the first President Bush. Born in Utah, he graduated from West Point and served in the Air Force in a number of capacities including Assistant Air Attache in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Military Assistant to President Nixon. From 1978 to 1987, General Scowcroft remained actively engaged in national security affairs, serving on the President's Advisory Committee on Arms Control, the Commission on Strategic Forces and the President's Special Review Board, also known as the Tower Board. He earned a Doctorate in International Relations from Columbia University.

1. Yeah, but our man said the same thing so it must be wrong!

2. Drive dubya into a frenzy

at the debate by mentioning that his father's own advisors AGREE with Kerry.

Should push him over the edge.

Incidentally I know the debate is supposed to be about domestic issues but Dubya won't pass on an opportunity to put this talking point out for everybody to see.

3. Yes, if Kerry even mentions shrub's father, shrub tends to lose it.

Especially when at the same time you throw a shrub criticism right back in his face.
