(2004-08-03) — With speculation rising that the recent terror threats to New York and Washington D.C. may have been based on pre-9/11 intelligence, Democrat presidential candidate John Forbes Kerry today slammed President George Bush for failing to generate “fresh, relevant threats to our homeland.”
“There’s nothing new here,” said Mr. Kerry. “It’s the same old thing we’ve heard for the past three years. America is tired of stale intelligence which raises our threat-level but results in nothing. We can do better, and we will.”
Mr. Kerry added that when he is president, “we won’t have these false alarms based on remnants of a terror network in disarray. We will have real, fresh and innovative threats to our homeland, backed by action.”
