John Edwards answers Dick Cheney on 9/11-style threat

[Bluebear]

Senator John Edwards released the following statement today in response to comments made by Dick Cheney in Iowa that America is more likely to be attacked if John Kerry and John Edwards are elected in November:

"Dick Cheney's scare tactics crossed the line today, showing once again that he and George Bush will do anything and say anything to save their jobs. Protecting America from vicious terrorists is not a Democratic or Republican issue, it's an American issue and Dick Cheney and George Bush should know that.

"John Kerry and I will keep America safe, and we will not divide the American people to do it." .

If so, can we blame it on them, like they blamed it on Clinton?
