Cheney Warns of Terror Risk if Kerry Wins
By DAVID E. SANGER
and DAVID M. HALBFINGER

COLUMBIA, Mo., Sept. 7 - Stepping up the battle over national security, Vice President Dick Cheney warned on Tuesday that the country would be at risk of a terror attack if it made "the wrong choice" in November, and President Bush accused Senator John Kerry of adopting the antiwar language of his Democratic primary rival Howard Dean.

Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney delivered their accusations in separate appearances as Mr. Kerry, for the second day in a row, attacked Mr. Bush's "wrong choices." The Democratic contender said that of all of them "the most catastrophic choice is the mess that he has made in Iraq."

The debate was underscored as the deaths of American military personnel and Defense Department civilians working in Iraq reached 1,000.

Mr. Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, called it a "tragic milestone" and a reminder that "we must meet our sacred obligation to all our troops to do all we can to make the right decisions in Iraq so that we can bring them home as soon as possible."

Mr. Bush never mentioned the figure on a bus tour across Missouri. But at the very moment he was criticizing Mr. Kerry as having flip-flopped on Iraq, his press secretary, Scott McClellan, told reporters that the 1,000 men and women had died "so that we defeat the ideologies of hatred and tyranny."
...

"It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice," Mr. Cheney told a crowd of 350 people in Des Moines, "because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States."

He also said if Mr. Kerry was elected the nation risked lapsing to a "pre-9/11 mind-set'' where attacks are viewed as criminal acts, not part of a war against terrorism.

Mr. Kerry's running mate, Senator John Edwards, promptly said Mr. Cheney had "crossed the line."

"What he said to the American people,'' Mr. Edwards said, "was that if you go to the polls in November and elect anyone other than us, then another terrorist attack occurs, it's your fault. This is un-American.''

Anne Womack, a spokeswoman for Mr. Cheney, said that the vice president's comment was taken out of context, and that he was addressing policy differences.

"Whoever is elected is going to face the prospect of another terrorist attack,'' Ms. Womack said. "The question is whether we will have the right policies in place to protect our country." Mr. Kerry plans to speak on Wednesday about mistakes in Iraq from the restored train station in Cincinnati. That is where Mr. Bush laid out his argument nearly two years ago that President Saddam Hussein of Iraq was amassing large stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction and might soon be able to strike the United States.

No evidence of weapons of mass destruction has surfaced in Iraq.

...

For his part, from his first stop this morning on a football field in Lee's Summit to a late-afternoon rally at a fairgrounds here, Mr. Bush ridiculed Mr. Kerry for saying on Monday that Iraq was "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"He woke up yesterday morning with yet another new position," Mr. Bush told more than 10,000 people gathered for a breakfast-hour rally. "And this one is not even his own. It is that of his one-time rival, Howard Dean.

"He even used the same words Howard Dean did, back when he supposedly disagreed with him. No matter how many times Senator Kerry flip-flops, we were right to make America safer by removing Saddam Hussein from power."
...

Mr. Kerry's campaign has tried to keep the focus on Mr. Bush, arguing that the president, trying to focus solely on the decision to go to war, is avoiding the far more unpleasant subjects of his failure to find the weapons that provided the rationale for invasion or what Mr. Bush called the "miscalculation" of swift military victory that has contributed to the 17-month-long insurgency in Iraq.

"This was his choice," Mr. Kerry said in Greensboro, N.C. "He chose the date of the start of this war, he chose the moment, and he chose for America to go it alone. And today, all of America is paying this price."

At another point, Mr. Kerry said: "Let me explain it to him in a few simple words. It's not that I would have done just one thing differently in Iraq. I would have done everything differently in Iraq.

"It was wrong to rush to war without a plan to win the peace. It was wrong not to show the kind of statesmanship and leadership that builds a true international coalition to share the cost and share the burden. And it was wrong to put our young men and women in harm's way without the body armor and the Humvees and the equipment and the reinforcement that they needed."
...

Despite the increasing ferocity of the Iraq debate, neither candidate has been very specific about how to deal with the Iraq that one of them will have to work with on Jan. 20.

Mr. Kerry has said he will seek to have all American troops out of the country within four years. Mr. Bush has set no timetables and declined to talk about how much of the mission of stabilizing and transforming the country needs to be accomplished before Americans can leave.

Instead, with his shirt-sleeves rolled up while taking questions in Sedalia, Mr. Bush shot back at Mr. Kerry's argument that the president had twisted the arms of unwilling nations to participated in an ill-planned military operation.

"My opponent called them 'the coerced and the bribed,' " Mr. Bush said of the other nations in Iraq. "That's denigrating allies. Tony's Blair's a standup guy."

Mr. Bush continued, praising the Australians, the Poles and other contingents."These aren't "the coerced and the bribed,' '' he said. "These are the brave and the dedicated."

...

Mr. Kerry, at his event said, "We need a president who has the statesmanship and the ability to bring other countries to a table they ought to be at," he said to rousing applause, "because the world has a stake in the outcome of the war on terror."

He added that it was also time for the Iraqis to "stand up and say, if they want the freedom, they're going to start to embrace it, and they're going to do their part to make it happen, and we need a president who can make that happen.

"You don't shove freedom down people's throats at the end of a gun barrel."

If you honestly believe that then you are honestly a fucking moron.

Lets not forget the fact that two years before anyone knew who GWB was, Osama bin Laden called upon all Muslims to kill any all Americans they could, be it military or civilian. Al-Queda had carried out a number of terrorist attacks on U.S. embassies and interests during the Clinton administration, and that 9/11 planning had started before GWB was even in office.

For an example, we will use our friend Ahmed Ressam who, in 1999, a year before GWB was elected, was caught trying to smuggle explosives into the country that were intended for Los Angeles International Airport.


There are tons of similar examples, but I guess it was all just GWB's fault regardless.


JONG.

Maybe you should lay off the alcohol, and you wouldn't be making stupid comments like "I honestly believe 9-11 would have never happened had gw not been elected president, fuck you ignorant republicans"...

That's almost as smart as calling yourself a skier and living in Tampa......

Coulda had inspectors there??! THEY WERE KICKED OUT.

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about, and it's scary that you spout off from a position of ignorance, supported only by your kneejerk partisan beliefs.
THE WEAPONS INSPECTORS WERE THERE UNTIL BUSH FORCED THEM OUT.
Learn something about what you're trying to argue before trying to engage someone in an argument.
Enough lies.

U.N. Inspectors Vacate Iraq

(AP) U.N. weapons inspectors climbed aboard a plane and pulled out of Iraq on Tuesday after President Bush issued a final ultimatum for Saddam Hussein to step down or face war.

A plane carrying the inspectors took off from Saddam International Airport at 10:25 a.m. It landed an hour and a half later in Laranca, Cyprus where the inspectors have a base.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Monday ordered all U.N. inspectors and support staff, humanitarian workers and U.N. observers along the Iraq-Kuwait border to evacuate Iraq after U.S. threats to launch war.
