Kerry Presents His Terror Plan. . .um, it's what we're already doing.

Today, Kerry laid out his plan to combat terrorism. His main points are listed with comments from yours truly. These points were extracted from the USA Today website.

Double the U.S. Army's special forces capacity and speed implementation of new anti-terror technologies.

This is already being done.

Create a national intelligence director's post that included full control over intelligence funding and double the number of overseas clandestine officers.

This is already being done.

"Make Afghanistan a priority again, because it's still the front line of the war on terror."

The fight in Afghanistan continues. Operations on the ground, while low key, are continuing.

Improve global security of chemical and nuclear weapons, particularly those in the former Soviet Union. He promised to secure all weapons there within four years.

Kerry is going to secure Putin’s weapons in four years? Has he asked Putin about that?

Seek a "verifiable" global ban on the production of materials needed to make nuclear weapons and talk directly to North Korea about its nuclear weapons program. "We have to get serious about diplomacy with North Korea, now," he said.

We are serious about diplomacy with North Korea. The countries in that region are better able to pressure North Korea because the North doesn’t see them as a threat. If we engage North Korea in direct talks, we risk extortion. Actually, that’s what they are attempting now.

"Wage a war on terrorist finances," including freezing assets of anyone or any organization "who is financing terrorism."

That’s already being done.

Hold Saudi Arabia "accountable" for terrorist group development there, and work to make the U.S. independent of Mideast oil.

What would that accountability look like? How would that be different than what is already going on?

Improve security in U.S. ports.

That’s already being done.

Deny sanctuary and recuiting opportunities for terrorists.

That’s already being done.

Strengthen and in some cases rebuild alliances with other countries. "If ever the United States of America needed to reach out instead of alienating countries, it is now," he said. Kerry said such action was "not a sign of weakness — it is a sign of strength, and it will make us stronger."

If we alienate countries like France by taking away the opportunity for illegal financial gain (Iraq), then so be it. They still are allies in the fight on terror and there is no evidence that I have seen to show otherwise.

Once again, Kerry has decided to jump into the water to fight the sharks. Rather than running on his strengths, his advisors have convinced him to run on his weaknesses. Will it work? Feel free to comment.
