If Elected, Kerry Promises to Hire Force to Protect Terror Targets

 
By The ASSORTED PRESS (TAP)


August 1, 2004 (TAP) -- Sen. John Kerry promised today that if he is elected president, he will use his wife's fortune to hire mercenaries to protect potential financial institution targets in New York from terrorist truck-bomb attacks.

The announcement comes after Sen. Kerry, a Vietnam veteran who received three Purple Heart medals for combat wounds in four months, criticized the Bush administration for failing to protect financial and international institutions from possible terrorist attacks.

"You have to be engaged," Mr. Kerry said on CBS' Face the Nation. "So, when I am the president I'm going to hire the world's best soldiers of fortune and deploy them rapidly to any site in New York that might be a terrorist target. If there's one thing I have learned from my wife's Heinz relatives, it's the importance of anticipation ." (ed. Anyone remember that commercial?)

 

"Money is no problem", said Mr. Kerry, "My wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry is worth over a billion dollars and she really would like to be the first lady of America, please."
