Edwards: Iraq War Created Terror Haven
By KATHARINE WEBSTER
Associated Press Writer

WINDHAM, N.H. (AP) -- Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards on Tuesday accused President Bush of failing the United States and the world in Iraq, citing unsecured nuclear weapons abroad and unprotected ports at home as further evidence of the president's "incompetence."
"He's created something that didn't exist before the war in Iraq - he's created a haven for terrorists," Edwards said.
Contending that Bush gave in to chemical industry lobbyists by not requiring greater security against terrorist attacks at the nation's chemical plants, Edwards said Bush has not secured "loose" nuclear weapons in other countries and has failed to protect airports and ports in the United States.
"This is not leadership - this is incompetence," Edwards said.

3. That is the Buzz word they should have used in the debate
That is precisely what this election is about.

It is about the competance to lead. Hopefully the press repeats this again and again and again.

Kerry should have used it int he deabte.


Due respect Mr. President. Your leadership has been on screw-up after another.. the american people deserve competant leadership...you have not delivered.

The election should be a referendum on Bush's competance. Nothing more...nothing less.

edited to add: to state that a president is "incompetent" means that he is "unfit" for office, "lack of ability, knowledge, legal qualification, or fitness to discharge the required duty or professional obligation." (Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Ed., 1990, page 765)

6. Al Gore opened the door yesterday..."dishonest and incompetent"
like he has done so many times before over the past couple of years....and I believe this is probably all coordinated....

Now, let's add the word DISHONEST to the message, Kerry/Edwards!!!!!
