(2004-09-01) — “America will win the court battle on terror,” if John Forbes Kerry is elected president, according to the Democrat candidate.
Evoking the memory of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Mr. Kerry released a statement designed to position him as tougher on terror than President George Bush.
“We shall not flag or fail against terrorism,” said Mr. Kerry, a Vietnam veteran and distinguished anti-war protestor who is also a U.S. Senator. “We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in the courtroom, we shall fight with subpoenas and pre-trial motions, we shall fight with clever arguments and emotional appeals, we shall defend our nation, whatever the cost may be-in actual or punitive damages. We shall plea bargain shrewdly and produce surprise witnesses and DNA analysis, but we shall never be paid unless we collect damages for you.”
