John Edwards will propose a "Marshall plan" for terrorism today.
According to an advance excerpt of a speech on a New York Times blog, the former North Carolina senator will call today for the creation of a 10,000-member "Marshall Corps."
I recognize what our military commanders have made clear – military action is only one of the tools we have to stop terrorism; we have to supplant the lure of violent extremism with the hope of education, opportunity, and prosperity.
In recent weeks, Edwards called the "war on terror" a bumper-sticker slogan, facing criticism from Sen. Hillary Clinton and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, among others.
He will give the speech at the Sheraton New York at 1:30 p.m.
