Edwards on terrorism
Published by September 8th, 2007
John Edwards presents his plan to fight terrorism in a speech in New York. Fast-forward past a whopping 10 and a half minutes of introductions. Then skep past another 12 minutes of background we already know and criticisms we've already heard. It's a full 22 minutes into the 40-minute video before he gets to his first specific proposal: the creation of a Counterintelligence and Terrorism Treaty Organization (CITTO). Next: He'll fund 1,000 scholarships for students learning language and other needed skills. He'll create programs working with American mosques; not clear how. And then he calls for energy independence.
Sound bite: "George Bush is using 20th-century weapons against 21st-century problems."
