Senator Kerry's long history against terrorists

Senator Kerry has always been my first choice for President this election. I remember his efforts in the 1980s exposing the Nicaraguan contra/US government/cocaine connection, and his efforts to expose the terrorist dealings of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). Senator Kerry has already had more success fighting terrorists than President Bush ever will.

[Note the failure of Mr. Bush to dispatch enough troops in Iraq to secure the known weapon's caches but placing a higher priority on protecting Iraq's oil fields--Scott McClellan confesses at the White House Press gaggle, October 25, 2004:

But it didn't occur to the Bush Administration to secure explosives [Salon.com: subscribe now or get a free day pass!] which terrorists would love to get their evil hands on?]

Father, let me dedicate All this year to you
In whatever earthly state You will have me be
Not from sorrow, pain, or care Freedom dare I claim;
This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify Your name.
--from New Year's Hymn by Lawrence Tuttiett, 1864 (alt.)
