What a bunch of crap. Is there any question that insurgents have had an effect on the mission in Iraq and kept them busier there than here? That doesn't mean that the Bush administration isn't taking steps for better homeland security, but that also doesn't mean that what Kerry says isn't completely untrue. I don't see anywhere that John Kerry hailed Al Qaeda as positive thing, he's just stated they are hitting us where we are, which is Iraq for the most part, and I don't see how that is a pro-enemy statement or an endorsement for Al Qaeda.
Not to mention it's an out of context statement, from an entire interview, posted on an obviously partisan website.
Nice try, I don't think Kerry was 'touting' their success, just giving an opinion. An opinion that I don't know that I even agree with completely, but that doesn't make him pro-Al Qaeda, it just makes him opinionated like any other politician.

"Many people surmise that one of the reasons we haven't been attacked here, is because they are being so successful at doing what they need to do to attack us in Iraq and elsewhere," John Kerry told ABC's "This Week."

He even says "many people surmise", not even that he did. Unless the rest of the interview is there and he clearly says 'rah rah, go Al Qaeda' then this is nothing more than trolling, partisan non-sense that serves no purpose other than further division and distracts from the real issues at hand.

So, do you have a non-Enquirer version of this article?

For some reason, I would like to get my news from a source that puts more effort into analyzing real news stories rather than stories of Britany Spears.

Heil Bush

Not surprising at all. The reason he didn't get elected is because he doesn't really know what he believes unless some political stratigist tells it to him. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Is it just me or does anyone else remember the arrests made in Oregon and elsewhere that has foiled potential attacks on American soil?

Maybe the reason we have not been attacked here in the USA is that the FBI has been doing their job and doing it well.

I think that we will never know how many terror attacks have been foiled on American soil.

George Bush, encouraging terrorists since March 20, 2003 by completely ticking off the Muslim world and invading a country that had NOTHING to do with 9-11.

Read your history.

Islamic states have been upset with the west for about 100 years.

Been upset with the Christians for about 1000 years.

No one bothers to mention the Muslim inviasion of 612 A.D. that killed anyone who did not convert to Islam.

Nor the second muslim invasion that did the same thing.

Trace the history and you will see that the bloodshed was started by Islam. Not the Christians, not the Jews, but the "peaceful" Muslims.

Hmmm... strange. Believe in blogs and staged stories, but not real news. Protect 'freedom' but not of Liberal papers. Ignore anything that you disagree with and walk around in rose colored sunglasses. This sounds a lot like a Hippie from the '60's. I'd have two of what they've got, but I doubt if they'd fill the prescription.

I never said it hasn't been going on for a long time, but the actions of this administration haven't done much to make it better. Just my humble opinion.

EDIT: Not to change the topic too much, but part of what you cite is exactly the reason that I abhor organized religion. (Also, lets not forget the Crusades and a number of other things perpetuated by the 'if you don't love Jesus then die' sector of Christianity, it's not all wine and wafers.) Religion should be a personal thing, organized religion has turned it into a power based, political, socio-economic thing, the Muslims didn't start that though they have played their part as well and are just as bad as the rest, certainly some of the more extreme examples.

Just another reason for me to say organized religion is the real devil, the leading cause of death, war, and hatred throughout history, and it has nothing to do with personal philosophies of life and death or belief in a creator. It's all about power, money and forcing your beliefs on someone else in order to prosper a certain behavior befitting those in charge.
