Serious fearmongering by the Bush camp. They are on a downward trend so this is not surprising. Every time they have been on a downward trend they invoke 911 or the treat of a major attack to counter that trend and get the wishy washy voter to sway their way. Now in Phoenix, the 5th largest metro area in the US and a spot where 911 terrorists trained, I have heard nor seen any indications of a change in the terror alert level. I think Cheney is rattling a sabre hoping to scare voters.
I'm also curious how Cheney thinks Kerry could do a worse job. I do believe it was his administration that was on watch when 911 happened. I do believe it was his administration that ignored the intelligence that allowed for the attack in the first place. Now Cheney is supposed to have us all confident that they will protect us from a nuclear threat? Good lord, they couldn't protect us from planes flying into buildings, even when they knew the attack was coming. These guys crack me up!
