drmiller,
You're joking, right?
A. American cities will get nuked unless that threat is effectively combated.
B. Cheney says only tough, aggressive war on terrorism can effectively combat threat of cities getting nuked.
C. Cheney says Bush will fight tough, aggressive war on terrorism.
D. Cheney says Kerry won't fight an tough, aggressive war on terrorism.
A + B + C = E. American Cities less likely to get nuked if Bush elected.
A + B + D = G. American cities more likely to get nuked if Kerry elected.
If you really don't follow this, I guess I can't convince you, and I surrender. I think most people would agree with me, but obviously I can't prove that. The news media interpreted in the same way I did, but you probably think that media is biased.
Thank you for your comments.
