Brokaw asks Kerry "Europeans believe that the Bush administration has exaggerated the threat of terrorism"
Kerry replies "I think that there has been an exaggeration and there has been a refocusing... etc."
Even if you take Kerry's comments to mean the exaggeration was ONLY about Iraq's role in terrorism, the real problem is that Kerry then goes on to talk about he he would fight terrorisim.
Kerry next says, in response to how he thinks terror should be handled "The war on terror is less -- it is occasionally military...But it's primarily an intelligence and law enforcement operation."
Treating the war on terror as "occasionally military...But...primarily an intelligence and law enforcement operation" is how Clinton and Bush both treated pre-9/11. That failed. Kerry wants to return to that.
It's not as bad as wanting to "eat babies & kick old people," but it's pretty damn foolish.
