SUMMARY
Former New York City mayor Ed Koch publicly endorsed President George W. Bush for re-election, citing his commitment to combating international terrorism as the primary reason. Koch argues that the U.S. is less safe now than it was on 9/11, with al-Qaeda expanding its influence in Iraq. The discussion highlights the complexities of public perception regarding Bush's handling of terrorism and the potential political ramifications of his policies, particularly in relation to the upcoming elections.
