Yesterday in Iowa, Vice President Cheney said “It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, 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,"
Here’s why his statement is true.
(1) Capture of the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran. Carter, a liberal did nothing. In accordance with International Law such an act is considered a declaration of war.
(2) First bombing of the World Trade Center – Clinton did nothing. It’s a criminal act. Has nothing to do with the defense of our country.
(3) Blackhawk was down in Somalia – Ditto
(4) Bombing of the American Embassies in Africa – Ditto
(5) Bombing of the USS Cole – Ditto
(6) Attack on the World Trade Center (09-11-01) – Bush did respond. Bin Laden ran so fast he is now living in a desert hole with rats and scorpions. Saddam Hussein, who ignored the UN so many times, is in jail. The US hasn’t been attacked since then. That’s a fact that liberals seem to forget.
Contrast this to the positions of Kerry, another liberal, who would like to be President.
(1) In Iraq, he wants to bring the military home, after 6 months, then
(2) He said that if we are ever attack again, he will go to the United Nations, organized a coalition, and let the coalition decide the defense of our country. Russia, who was being counted into Kerry’s coalition, elected and accepted Bush’s doctrine of “pre-emption”. They will seek the terrorists wherever they are. Unlike Kerry’s vision, they are not going to the UN.
(3) Kerry was criticizing Bush for his approach to keep the country safe. He said, "Two hundred billion for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford after school programs for our children. Two hundred billion for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford health care for our veterans. Two hundred billion dollars for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford to keep the 100,000 police officers we put on the streets during the 1990's. We're here today to tell them they're wrong."
(4) Edwards also echoed, – "So many things that are important in the lives of the American people are not taking place, but (the United States is spending) $200 billion and counting in Iraq. These things are completely connected.
The new Kerry position echoes exactly what Clinton’s position. Terrorism is a police matter. It’s just a criminal action that can be fixed by policemen and lawyers (all unionized) – even if 3000 Americans die.
America is not at war.
If one reads the US Constitution, the President’s main job – is to defend the United States. That’s why he is called the “Commander-in-Chief”. The funding of schools, the funding of policemen, the funding of welfare (things that are important in the lives of the American people) are minor jobs. Yet Kerry is putting these minor jobs in front of the main job, which is the defense our country.
Americans know better. They listen to Cheney – he spoke the truth!
