WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic White House candidate John Kerry accused President Bush on Monday of shortchanging domestic security and politicizing the war on terror, calling him "big on bluster and short on action."

"America doesn't need leaders who play politics with 9/11 or see the war on terror as just another campaign issue," Kerry told leaders of the firefighters' union, the first labor group to back his campaign last year.

"This administration has put a tax giveaway for the very wealthiest of our nation over making sure we do all we can to win the war on terror here at home," he said.

The Massachusetts senator criticized Bush for not providing enough funding to domestic fire and medical units that are the first responders to emergencies at home, and failing to properly equip military units abroad.
