Edwards Thinks National Security Is "More Of A Background Thing"
Edited on Sun Jan-25-04 03:16 PM by cryingshame
"Ninety-plus percent of the questions are domestic," he insisted to NEWSWEEK. National security is "just not what drives the election. It's more of a background thing."

This comment from a candidate who has Shelton on his team... the very same Shelton who defended Bush a week ago as mentioned in the following article... does Edwards even know what PNAC stands for or what their agenda is?:

The controversy began last week when excerpts were released from a book on the administration published Tuesday in which O'Neill suggests Iraq was the focus of President Bush's first National Security Council meeting.

Retired Army Gen. Hugh Shelton, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he saw nothing to indicate the United States was close to attacking Iraq early in Bush's term.

Shelton, who retired shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, said the brass reviewed "on the shelf" plans to respond to crises with the incoming Bush administration.

But in the administration's first six months, "I saw nothing that would lead me to believe that we were any closer to attacking Iraq than we had been during the previous administration," Shelton told CNN.
