MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Democratic presidential candidates clashed on Sunday over whether the Bush administration had made the country safer from terrorism after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards called President Bush's global war on terrorism a "political slogan, a bumper sticker, that's all it is" in the second televised debate pitting the eight Democratic contenders.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is the front-runner in national polls, said she did not agree with Edwards characterization of the war on terrorism.

As a senator from New York, "I have seen first hand the terrible damage that can be inflicted on our country by a small band of terrorists."

"As a senator from New York, 'I have seen first hand the terrible damage that can be inflicted on our country by a small band of terrorists.' "

Just because you are the senator from New York does not mean you are the only on qualified to know, see, feel, or comment on 9/11. If that is your argument, Rudy will kick your butt, he was in the city on the day it happened!!

A little rant, I am done now.

that is such a Giuliani tactic. did you see the Onion article "Giuliani to run for President of 9/11"?

This was audience question time and Blitzer made his own question just to snipe at Kucinich. I thought he was a FORMER AIPAC lobbyist not current.

I didn't see the debate, but it sounds like Edwards nailed it!

Shame on Hillary for trying to wrap herself in the same hypocrisy-soaked flag that Bush has used to devastate our once great nation and as much of the rest of the world as he can lie Congress into letting him get his hands on.

John Edwards knows that while the Repukes had us looking over our shoulder for "terra, terra, terra," he and his corporate cronies were shredding the Constitution and robbing us blind.

Hillary, you'd better wake up or shut up!

Bill must be hanging his head in shame.

To think Hillary and Edwards are two of our front runners.

Neither read the IWR...@#$%ing John Edwards sponsored Lieberman's resolution yet never read it?!

Both say they were "briefed" by past adminastrations...Edwards mentioned "the Clinton's".

Whenever I see Edwards act as if he's taking the higher road for admitting his "mistake" for voting (NOT SPONSORING) the IWR, I want to clock him.

I'm tired of hearing people in charge who @#$%-up and think the words "I'm sorry" fixes everything.

...it's like saying "I'm sorry I got your kid killed, but vote for me".
