DAYTON, Ohio (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney mocked Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Thursday for pledging to wage a more "sensitive" war against terrorism.
Cheney's speech in the campaign battleground state of Ohio extended a week of Republican attacks on Kerry's security credentials. Kerry's camp said it showed desperation in President Bush's campaign over losing a perceived edge on security issues.
"America has been in too many wars for any of our wishes, but not a one of them was won by being sensitive," Cheney said.
"Those that threaten us and kill innocents around the world do not need to be treated more sensitively, they need to be destroyed," he said.
