It's looking more and more like John Kerry is banking on a major terrorist attack inside the US to boost his candidacy. This piece in the Boston Globe is typical of the positioning Kerry is doing on the subject:
John F. Kerry said yesterday President Bush is "encouraging the recruitment of terrorists" with a response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack that has alienated moderate Muslims and left the United States without sufficient defenses, a charge the president branded "ridiculous" and said reflected "a misunderstanding of the war on terror."By this reasoning, President Clinton's response to al Qaeda attacks in the 90's was the reason for 9/11. Someone should ask Kerry if that's the kind of thing he means.
