JOHN Kerry's campaign has warned Australians that the Howard Government's support for the US in Iraq has made them a bigger target for international terrorists.

Diana Kerry, younger sister of the Democrat presidential candidate, told The Weekend Australian that the Bali bombing and the recent attack on the Australian embassy in Jakarta clearly showed the danger to Australians had increased.

"Australia has kept faith with the US and we are endangering the Australians now by this wanton disregard for international law and multilateral channels," she said, referring to the invasion of Iraq.

Asked if she believed the terrorist threat to Australians was now greater because of the support for Republican George W. Bush, Ms Kerry said: "The most recent attack was on the Australian embassy in Jakarta -- I would have to say that."

In this election, which is decided according to the states won, the Kerry campaign says overseas votes could also determine the result given there are a dozen states where victory might be measured by a few hundred to a few thousand votes. About 5million American voters live overseas and interest in this election was high, Ms Kerry said. About 350,000 absentee ballots were distributed in 2000, but more than a million had been sought this time.

Quizzed on US opinion polls that showed Senator Kerry's campaign flagged through August and that he was now running behind Mr Bush (I thought the whole world hated Bush?)
Ms Kerry said her brother would win the November 2 election.

"He responds well to challenges and has the reputation of fighting well from behind," she said

Sickening.

He doesn't care about the truth, or what this does to America. He just cares about winning.

Someone needs to go and slap the taste out of his mouth.

You know I shouldn't be so shocked after what he did to his own brothers in war. But I guess he never ceases to amaze me.

P A T H E T I C.

Doesn't look like it's working for him very well though.

Looks like he's playing a C minor barre chord there. Maybe we should have the Navy investigate though. But yeah those are utterly disgusting photos.

Nope, someone actually found that on Kerry's own website. Here's what I found on Google.

They took it down, but it was first on his site.

And that whole flower thing is more embarrassing.

Funny how they drag out the kid to say Australia should stop supporting the US. Isn't that what the VP candidate is supposed to do?

Do you think that George Bush cares about the truth? All that matters to him is winning, as well. Kerry doesn't have a monopoly on those points.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

You're sort of right. While both want to win, I didn't like the daughter's comments one bit. She basically said that we were the ones killing Aussies.

And for the flower thing, I don't think he's gay at all or anything, but what's up with a flower? Can't you get something different? It looks like something from one those girlie shops in the mall. Oh well. I thought the guitar picture made him look stupid, like those bunny suit pics.

Like when Bush says that things are going well in Iraq? And spends money like a drunken sailor?

Or when Cheney says that if people don't vote for Bush, there'll be a greater risk of another attack?

Are you sure that participation in the war hasn't made Australians a more likely target for terrorists? Why wouldn't it? Did she tell an untruth, or is the truth just difficult to hear?

You know I shouldn't be so shocked after what he did to his own brothers in war.
You mean like saving their lives under fire?

I think Kerry's foolish to believe that 100,000 people in Australia is going to bring him out of a ditch. Even Electoral-Vote.com shows Bush in a lead of about 124 electoral votes, let alone poll numbers. Things may change, but the tide has shifted. Even if one of the Bush kids pushed for more overseas, we all know it'd be to get more votes for pops. Everyone could see that. I just wouldn't put the bank on this one.

Deputy PM John Anderson admitted that our role in Iraq made us a bigger threat...as did the head of the Australian Federal Police, Mick Keelty...

Can't imagine PM Howard would be happy at what Anderson had to say. Too bad Keelty was told to shut up by the government and Anderson went into damage control.

You know you're doing something right if poking the fireplace creates a lot of sparks. Attacking people gets them more pissy. It's inevitable.

I could care less about that. It's petty.

This blaming America for Australia being attacked is just un-called for.

He doesn't care WHAT damage is done. As long as he gets the position he wants.

Just like back when he got out of NAM.

Looks like he hasn't learned a darn thing.

Is she even part of Kerry's campaign? It says that she heads a campaign called 'American Overseas for Kerry' but does that make her part of the campaign? You seem to say that John Kerry himself said these words. That does not look correct.

He's on the 8th fret. That's either a C or an Fm, probably a C though knowing the kind of music he plays.

I am sure Kerry knows a few chords. But I doubt you'll ever even see him play 32nd note flurries.

No, I was calling YOU out for telling Zimph HE didn't "know anything about `Nam". So, tell us about Vietnam... since you were there.
