Bush Ad Hints Terrorists Want Kerry to Win

President Bush's campaign, using powerful imagery of prowling wolves, 
suggests the country under John Kerry would be vulnerable to terrorists in 
a new television ad that says "weakness attracts those who are waiting to 
do America harm."

The ad, reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's "Bear" ad that was credited with 
framing the 1984 race, shows a dense forest from above. Scurrying is heard 
as the camera plunges deeper into the woods and pans sunlight-speckled 
trees. Shadows move through the brush before animals are seen amid the forest.

Then, the ad reveals the type of animal: a pack of wolves rest on a hill. 
As the commercial closes, the cunning and ruthless predators stir, crawling 
toward the camera.

"In an increasingly dangerous world, even after the first terrorist attack 
on America, John Kerry and the liberals in Congress voted to slash 
America's intelligence budget by $6 billion," an ominous voice says in the 
ad. "Cuts so deep they would have weakened America's defenses. And weakness 
attracts those who are waiting to do America harm."
