A quote by "Uber Hawk" Paul Wolfowitz on how to tell we have won against terror courtesy of
Demagogue
"...victory is going to be measured by what doesn't happen as opposed to what does happen. When Americans can go to malls and shopping centers and not have to worry about being hit by terrorists, and we don't think that on any moment there might be a suicidal airplane attack, then we'll know that we've dealt with it." Wolfowitz on Van Susteran's Show
Kerry's quote, published originally in the New York Times:
"We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance."
Why does my brain hurt? Oh yeah, because the administration that said Kerry was usuing "shameless scare tactics", the administration that claimed it was Kerry who had a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the terrorist threat by equating it with "nuisance," is an administration well at odds with anything remotely reality based.
