A "New Era of Alliances"? President Bush is already leading that one.

Modernize The World's Most Powerful Military To Meet New Threats? President Bush is also doing that as well. He has restructured the military that was designedto fight tank battles with the Soviets on the plains of Eastern Europe to smaller, lighter, faster moving and more easily deployable units so that they can react, when needed, to any specific threat to the US and/or our allies.

Deploy All That Is In America's Arsenal? President Bush is doing this one as well. We were able to reach a diplomatic solution to years of problems with Libya and their former biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons programs are now fully declared, dismantled, and the equipment is safe in the US. President Bush is also trying to reach a diplomatic solution with our allies in the Southern PAcific region to a non-nuclear Korean peninsula.

Free America From Its Dangerous Dependence On Mideast Oil? President Bush is doing this as well by using American ingenuity to drill our own oil reserves so that America is not reliant upon the prices that OPEC sets for oil. Bush has a very comprehensive energy bill that has been stalled in Congress, that if it had been passed when proposed would be preventing the current high gas prices we are faced with today.

So what is it Senator Kerry that you are going to do that is different from President Bush in handling the War on Terror?
