Bush rips Kerry's "shameful" attacks (Kerry needs to fight back)
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20041030/pl_afp/us_vote_bush_shameful_041030001516

- President George W. Bush (news - web sites) called Democratic rival John Kerry (news - web sites)'s charges that Bush failed to catch or kill Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) "especially shameful" given a new tape by the terrorist mastermind.

"Unfortunately my opponent tonight continued to say things he knows are not true, accusing our military of passing up a chance to get Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora," an Afghan stronghold, in 2001, Bush told cheering supporters here.

"As the commander in charge of that operation, (retired general) Tommy Franks has said: It's simply not the case," Bush said. "It is especially shameful in the light of a new tape from America's enemy."


Kerry needs to say--- What is shameful is that OSB is still alive and threatening Americans.

1. Did Kerry say that "TONIGHT" or this morning?
...or at all Today?

All I read was his statement, and there was nothing in there like this.

Is Bush lying again? Do I have to ask?:eyes:

2. A great response for Kerry...
What is TRULY shameful is that Osama is still out there to taunt and terrorize the U.S. via videotape. The fact that Bush took his eye off the ball in Afghanistan to launch an adventure in Iraq made this fact a reality. And now we find out that since Bush rushed to war and didn't send enough troops to guard Saddam's stockpiles of conventional explosives, these explosives have now been looted may ACTUALLY have made it back into the hands of Al Qaida.

You want to talk shameful? Bush should be HIDING HIS HEAD in shame over these mistakes that are costing Americans lives. Instead, he hides his head in the sand...hoping no one will realize the gravity of his mistakes.

3. Doesn't this just remind people that Kerry was RIGHT?
"Unfortunately my opponent tonight continued to say things he knows are not true, accusing our military of passing up a chance to get Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora,"



HELLLO!! Earth to RW dimwits, Earth to RW dimwits. This tape PROVES bin Laden escaped from Tora Bora. Just like Kerry said.

How is this "especially shameful?" It is only shameful for *.
