"Fundamentally the approach Kerry has outlined (as far as anyone knows) is to revert back to the Clinton, Reno, and Richard Clark model regarding terrorism. Kerry has repeatedly stated that he thinks the war on terror should be treated as a law enforcement issue rather than a military issue."
Interesting comment, but I'm not sure this is completely true. Kerry has been saying that he would like reshape the military to include more special forces units and allow these teams to deal with the terrorist threat. If what you suggest is true it is unlikely that Kerry would be talking about hunting down and killing terrorists. It seems to me that he is looking for a continued military involvment, but one that focuses on small reactive units rather than the large cumbersome engagements that Bush has used. Comment on why this strategy is wrong and why Bush's strategy of massive invasion is superior to rooting out a threat that does not know borders. Thanks.
