Who doesn't Understand the Threats of the 21st Century?
8.18.2004
I am reposting this link that clu posted via linkfilter.net. I had to defer to his permission though and hope his prize find will be allowed to stay in here. Otherwise, I'l take this down. Basically, his post goes like this:
May 2001 -- Bush Said "Most Urgent Threat" Was Ballistic Missiles.
Bush: "Most troubling of all, the list of these countries includes some of the World's least responsible states. Unlike the Cold War, today's most urgent threat stems not from thousands of ballistic missiles in the Soviet hands, but from a small number of missiles in the hands of these states, states for whom terror and blackmail are a way of life. They seek weapons of mass destruction to intimidate their neighbors, and to keep the United States and other responsible nations from helping allies and friends in strategic parts of the world." (Bush, Address at the National Defense University, 5/1/01)
May 2001 - Kerry Said "Immediate Threat" was From Terrorists and "Non-State Actors."
Kerry: "But let me underscore that missile defense will do nothing to address what the Pentagon itself considers a much more likely and immediate threat to the American homeland from terrorists and from nonstate actors, who can quietly slip explosives into a building, unleash chemical weapons into a crowded subway, or send a crude nuclear weapon into a busy harbor." (Kerry, Speech on Senate Floor, 5/2/01)
Clu asks: Who Doesn't 'Understand The Threats Of The 21st Century?' The link of course will read: "Paid for by Kerry-Edwards 2004. " But these being documented quotes, what are we going to do about it? Well, here's some other links I found: here, here, here and here. Do your own searches and you'll see what I'm saying. I think it is pretty clear now.
