The Forgettable September 11th

I used to marvel at the how the left viewed September 11th. Now it has become paintfully obvious that they no longer remember it. John Kerry does not.

I defended this country as a young man and I will defend it as President. Let there be no mistake: I will never hesitate to use force when it is required. Any attack will be met with a swift and certain response. - John Kerry

Dave Winer apparently doesn’t either.

The big glaring one I keep thinking of was the Bush promise of No Nation Building, as if to imply that his administration, if elected, would only act at home, something lot of novice Presidents promise, before they get sucked into Middle East politics, as they all do. - Dave Winer

If you forget that day, then the two quotes above might actually make sense. But for those of who live in the real world, the one below means quite a bit more.

Even in this post-9/11 period, Senator Kerry doesn’t appear to understand how the world has changed. He talks about leading a “more sensitive war on terror,” as though Al Qaeda will be impressed with our softer side. He declared at the Democratic Convention that he will forcefully defend America — after we have been attacked. My fellow Americans, we have already been attacked, and faced with an enemy who seeks the deadliest of weapons to use against us, we cannot wait for the next attack. We must do everything we can to prevent it — and that includes the use of military force. - Dick Cheney
