John Kerry OP/ED: Post-9/11 Policy Hasn’t Made World Safer: Rather than occupying Iraq, we Must Destroy al-Qaeda
September 9th, 2006 @ 10:33 am

In advance of his speech this morning at Boston’s Faneuil Hall, the Boston Herald featured an OP/ED from John Kerry today about the Bush administrations “Post-9/11 policy.”



The complete and utter failure of the Bush administration both in Iraq and Afghanistan, grows clearer every day as the Senate Intel Committee’s report becomes public that there was no link between Iraq and 9/11 and the news that Rumsfeld muzzled the “Iraq post-war plan.”

Months before the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld forbade military strategists from developing plans for securing a post-war Iraq, the retiring commander of the Army Transportation Corps said Thursday.

In fact, said Brig. Gen. Mark Scheid, Rumsfeld said “he would fire the next person” who talked about the need for a post-war plan.

John Kerry nailed it all today in his speech on national security, and in this OP/ED in the Boston Herald:

There are many things we can and must do better, but there are five steps to start: Redeploy from Iraq, recommit to Afghanistan, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, reform our homeland defense and restore America’s moral leadership in the world. These are five bold steps Democrats would take to strengthen our national security, and that the Republicans who have set the agenda resist to our national peril.

Nobody at my house.
