* He would have READ his PDBs. * He would have taken terrorism SERIOUSLY!!!!! * He would have met with Richard Clarke. * He would have implemented Clarke's recomendations. * He would have forced FBI department heads to issue reports on what THEY were doing to fight terrorism. They would in turn do the same to their subordinates. At some point someone would have written a report saying "We've found foreign nationals training to fly 747s without wanting to learn takeoffs and landings. * He would have hired an attorney general that would have prioritized anti-terrorism OVER prostitution and pornography. * He would have conversed with analysts directly and read detailed reports concerning all the caveats and provisions of the Iraqi war reports. * He would have asked for the SAME invasion authority. But he would have allowed the weapons inspectors to do their job. When they came back and said "He doesn't have any", Kerry would have believed them. * Kerry would have hired a national security advisor who could see through the yellow cake and anodized tubes BS intelligence. * Kerry would have sent serious amounts of ground troops into Afghanistan. He would NOT have relied and warlords who could be bought off to capture Osama Bin Laden. * Kerry would NOT have shielded the Saudis concerning their role in financing the 9/11 plot. * Kerry would have dedicated REAL resources to rebuilding Afghanistan after the "invasion". * Kerry would not have empowered the Afghan warlords to restart the Heroine trade in Afghanistan. * Kerry would have accepted NATO assistance in Afghanistan under the NATO mutual defense provision. There would have been 100,000 troops in Afghanistan half of which would be allied. * Kerry would not have ignored the Korean situation. * Kerry would not have ignored AQ Kahn's nuclear proliferation to Iran and N Korea. * Kerry would NOT have spooked the Iranians into cranking up their nuclear program. * Through allied cooperation Kerry could coerce Iran into giving up their nuclear program (which never would have started under Kerry) with economic sanctions via France and Russia. * Kerry would not have spent hundreds of billions on the Magenot Space Defense shield that won't even work on nuclear missles. As for Box cutters and cargo containers, thats obvious. * Kerry would NOT have even ENTERED a classroom after learning a plane smashed into the side of the world trade center. Kerry would have fighter in the air ASAP. * Kerry's FAA head would NOT have seized the ONLY copy of a debriefing with air traffic controllers than cut it into hundreds of pieces and deposited it in hundreds of trash bins throughout the office. * The Homeland Security department would have been formed BEFORE 9/11 coducive to the finding of the Hart-Rudman commission.
If KERRY was president, 9/11 would have NEVER have happened!!!!!
If Bush was replaced on 9/12 with Kerry
* The firefighters would not be facing deadly lung diseases due to coverups of the contaminants. * The firefighters would not have been used for political fodder, than forgotten and unfunded. * The 9/11 commission would have been ordered on 9/12 and convened within the month. * The airlines would not receive a bailout conditioned on denying damages to victims of a tragedy partly of their making. * Kerry would take our SECURITY seriously instead of constantly making us feel threatened through press briefings and color coded charts. * Kerry wouldn't waste public bandwidth with silly French bashing and "freedom fries". * Kerry's staff wouldn't out a CIA team leader working on weapons of mass destruction on a political vendetta. They would have taken Ambassador Wilson's assesment on face value that the yellow cake memo printed on stationary from 1992 was a forgery. Kerry's national security advisor would also understand that Iraq is rich in Uranium and has no need to import it from Nigeria.
It is so strange that Bush touts his greatest failure as his greatest achievement. He failed to protect us from the threat of terrorism AT ALL before 9/11. He was obsessed with nuclear missles from "rogue nations" completely ignoring that ICBM is the LEAST likely terrorist weapon since it is the most expensive an pretty unnecessary when you can just sneak a nuke in on a cargo container.
