Kerry Outlines Anti-Terrorism Plan
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES - Democrat John Kerry outlined his plan to combat terrorism Friday that relies on stronger intelligence-gathering, law enforcement and international alliances, rebutting increasing criticism of his national security credentials from President Bush's campaign. <snip>

Kerry said Bush has "no comprehensive strategy for victory in the war on terror...We cannot win the war on terror through military power alone," said the four-term Massachusetts lawmaker, a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Kerry also accused the president and "his armchair hawks" of weakening the U.S. military by failing to provide proper equipment. He lambasted Bush for "stonewalling" the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks.

Kerry said he would protect chemical and nuclear facilities, increase security at ports and airports, restore federal funding for 100,000 police officers and add 100,000 firefighters across the country <snip>

"We've heard this news before (capture al-Qaida leaders)," Kerry said. "We had him in our grasp more than two years ago at Tora Bora, but George Bush held U.S. forces back and instead called on Afghan warlords with no loyalty to our cause to finish the job. We all hope the outcome will be different this time." <snip>
