This is a great article on Kerry's views, though not always favorable, on the "war on terrorism." I won't go into detail here, though perhaps Xanthipass will give us his take. I will say it begins with something I find very interesting.
"As New York and Washington were under attack on Sept. 11, 2001, a film crew happened to come upon John Kerry leaving the Capitol. The brief moment of footage, included in a BBC documentary called ''Cleart he Skies,'' tells us something, perhaps, about Kerry in a crisis. The camera captures Congressional aides and visitors, clearly distraught and holding onto one another, streaming down the back steps of the Capitol building in near panic, following the bellowed instructions of anxious police. Off to one side of the screen, there is Kerry, alone, his long legs carrying him calmly down the steps, his neck craning toward the sky, as if he were watching a gathering rainstorm. His face and demeanor appear unworried."
It goes on to say Kerry felt he wanted to "get his gun and do something." This is in stark contrast to Bush who froze like a deer in headlights and waited in the Florida classroom for 7 minutes of whatever. There's no doubt in my mind which one I want to be our commander-in-chief.
