TERROR BRIEFING... not me!

KERRY PASSES UP TERROR BRIEFING: 'I JUST HAVEN'T HAD TIME'
Fri Jul 09 2004 09:23:56 ET

Just hours before attending an all-star celebrity fundraising concert in New York, Dem presidential candidate John Kerry revealed how he has been too busy for a real-time national security briefing.

"I just haven't had time," Kerry explained in an interview.

Kerry made the startling comments on CNN's LARRY KING LIVE Thursday night.

KING: News of the day, Tom Ridge warned today about al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States. Didn't increase the -- you see any politics in this? What's your reaction?

KERRY: Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me. I just haven't had time.

cant wait to hear how he trys to turn this around. he hasnt had time to do his job for his home state and now he cant even find the time to follow important developments in the nation. guess he just wants to be president!

Thats why presidents have cabnits and advisors, so they can concentrate on the important issues like being reelected, and their flunkies can handle the small chit.

Whoooaaa there big boy......

Aren't the Dems saying that Bush should be impeached for the decision to attack Iraq, regardeless of the fact that he only operated on the advice of the "small chit"?

Aren't the Dems saying that Bush is utterly responsible for the "abuse" of prisoners in the various prisons even though he isn't there doing this himself, it's the "small chit"?

Kerry has shown himself to be the self serving POS he really is. Please.... let's not confuse him with any kind of leader..... He's like all the Dems, power is the important thing..... But they get their power using the people they have put in poverty against those of us who succeed regardless of thier efforts. OTOH, the Rep's revel in people who get off their ass and work....

There... that's a nice little match to light on the evening that I go away with no internet access for a week..... ;)

Fishing and Beer on an island on a lake in north Wisconsin..... Puuuurfect.... :p

Heh heh heh....my comment wasn't partisan Tiger....I meant any president who might be in office or inspiring to get into office.
I hate all equally.

do i need to remind anyone that he is still a senator from mass. and boston is a terror target or is it ok to just shirk his responsibilities because he wants more. the state of mass has asked him to step down and he hasn't. this man is a real fuggin jerk

<slightly off topic but not> the bishops of the catholic church forbid him from receiving communion but he did it anyway ...he was on camera! this man has no moral commitment what so ever and fortunatly for him he has no balls because he lacks the spine with which to carry them.

<still ranting> has anyone ever seen the wounds for which he received the three purple hearts that he threw away but were someone elses but not, but does he have them or what

Hmm, imagine if Bush would have immediately jumped up and left the children in panic.

News flash: President Bush KNEW THE ATTACKS were coming.... I saw the video, you could tell that he was appaled at what was happening, and it was a moment of pure emotion.

I love how MM has decided alot of things for people.

Yeah! President Bush should have ran over to the Trade Towers, put out the fire himself, saved every person in the building, and brought donughts for all of the displaced policemen.

SHEEEZZZZ!

Thats a very ignorant thing to say. Only makes u look like a dumbass in the middle of an debate/conversation. Now why wouldn't the president do anything about it if he knew of the attacks? Please, if you are going to use that logic throughout this debate, just save everyone some agravation and keep those comments to yourself.

Thats using the same logic that Moore used in his movie to fill in the blanks, it seems to be good for debate.

What would have been the correct reaction? You wanted him to instantly leap up and start bombing countries. People can't have it both ways, on one hand critize Bush for being too quick to act, but on the other critize him for not acting quick enough.

Seems like Overduespy didn't think my comments were offline. I simply replied to a self admitted cheap shot, so critize that and not mine.

I am always amazed at the "Bush knew it was comming" take. Might as well say the security council DOD, Cabinet members and EVERYONE beneath him aslo knew. Biggest coverup in history it seems, or merely talking points on the counter agenda?

The problem is, Kerry is an active member of the Senate. He is a member of key comitees and he's taking a back seat to those duties. You can go research yourself but he has missed a lot of voting sessions while flying around in his private posh jet protecting the working class.

<Joke>Vote for me.

I dislike both Kerry and Bush. </Joke>
