March 04, 2004 Once in a While Maureen Dowd earns her Times Salary War on Terror Finally Being Called out for the Sham it is From Dowd's syndicated NYTimes column entitled "All they had to do was make a call," which lambasted Bush's stonewalling of the 9/11 commission. As Bob Kerrey, a frustrated member of the Sept 11 commission said, the United States should have declared war on Osama bin Laden as soon as it became apparents that he had an army with a "tremendous, sophisticated capability" and an ideology that dictated killing Americans. "To declare war on terrorism, it seems to me to have the target wrong," he said. "It would be like after the 7th of December, 1941, declaring war on Japanese planes. We declared war on Japan. We didn't declare war on their taactic. ... Terrorism is a tactic." But oh, yeah, weren't we debating gay marriage?
