"Does anyone seriously believe Kerry wouldn't fight AlQaeda? As for Homeland Security, Kerry could hardly doworse. Bush sold out to the chemical industry-sochemical plants are largely unprotected. He failed tofollow through on cargo security-so ports areunsecured. Compare Bush to a real wartime leader likeFranklin D. Roosevelt. When FDR ordered that 50,000combat aircraft be built in five months, he was toldit was impossible. He made it happen. When Bush, bycontrast, was told it would take five years after 9/11to consolidate terrorist watch lists and replace theFBI's primitive computers, he shrugged and sat on hishands. The job remains undone. Now that'sfrightening." --Jonathan AlterLast week, a Fox News Channel producer sued BillO'Reilly for sexual harassment, alleging that thecable host pressured her into phone sex.
