John Edwards Reveals There Is No War on Terror
What a relief: Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards says there is no global war on terror, and that it's all just a "bumper sticker" slogan. That means I must have been having some terrible dream when I looked out the office window in New York a few years ago and saw the World Trade Center burning. The plane full of Americans crashed into the Pentagon, the USS Cole, the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, Daniel Pearl's beheading, the Bali bombing, London's 7/7 terror attacks — all just dreams, cruelly exploited on Republican bumper stickers to justify the invasion of Iraq (which Edwards voted in favor of) and the frat boy pranks at Abu Ghraib.
According to the Breck Girl, pretending we are at war with Islamic terrorists actually emboldens the nonexistent terrorists.
All of the leading Democrat candidates call for us to surrender to the terrorists who attacked our country on 9/11. Silky Pony joins a select subgroup (along with Joe Biden and Dennis Kucinich) so nutty that they want us to lose a war they won't even admit we're fighting.
But Edwards isn't really a nut. He is just pandering to nuts to get what he wants, as when he pretended to channel the spirits of brain-damaged children in front of credulous juries so that they would help him steal his fortune from the doctors who earned it.
If there is a lower life form than John Edwards, science has yet to discover it.

I must say that I am simply appalled at the conduct of this trial lawyer. Just imagine, playing on the sympathy of idiot jurors. Duh nerve! And poverty sucks! (That'll be $55,000.00, thank you very much.)

No war on terror? Wow. Has anyone told the terrorists?

The sad thing is, this man is only in his early 50s. We may likely have to endure more campaigns with his mug in the limelight. After all, he's made his pile and doesn't have to work anymore...he can just concentrate on spending the next 20 or so years trying to get his foot in the Oval Office door.

We may very well be involved in the FOURTH World War. (The "third" was the Cold War)

The Breck Girl, Ghoulish Weirdo.
Mr. Kerry had qualms about choosing Mr. Edwards to be his presidential running mate in 2004, but grew "even queasier" after Mr. Edwards said he was going to share a story with Mr. Kerry he had never told anyone else — that after his son, Wade, had been killed, he climbed onto the slab at the funeral home and hugged his body and promised that he would do all he could to make life better for people.
"Kerry was stunned, not moved, because, as he told me later, Edwards had recounted the exact story to him, almost in the exact same words, a year or two before — and with the same preface, that he'd never shared the memory with anyone else. Kerry said he found it chilling, and he decided he couldn't pick Edwards unless he met with him again."

Mr Edwards was saying that the term "War On Terror" helped this administration sell its fear mongering strategy. What's so debatable about that?
