Cheney’s remark.

Vice-President Cheney rightly received heat for stating that the US would be hit by a terrorist attack if John Kerry is elected President. Chagrined, Cheney is now softening the edge of his remark. (*)

But could he have been unintentionally on to something? The WTC bombing of 1993 came early in Clinton’s term. The 9/11 attacks came early in Bush’s term. Perhaps one of the terrorist strategies is to attack the US during the early days of each new US President to test our defenses. For reference, the State Department has a list of major terrorist attacks going back four decades. (†)

Should that be the case, it should not play a role in the campaign. National security should be a bipartisan matter.
