What was Kerry's comment about "outsourcing" something
about terrorism? Neither husband nor I can remember it.

Anyone?

9. Yep, and he's correct.
Rummy and Shrub hired the Pakis and the warlords to catch the guy that attacked New York.

We should have had five US divisions in Afghanistan but they only sent ONE!

2. at Tora Bora (I think) bush outsourced the job of capturing and killing
bin Ladin to Afghan fighters who had been fighting against the US the week before. Instead of using the world's BEST TRAINED soldiers, ours, he outsourced that job and let bin Ladin get away.

3. Bush outsourced the hunting of Osama
Instead of using US troops to find Osama, Bush hired Afghan warlords who had been fighting AGAINST us just a few days earlier... like they're going to bust a nut doing our dirty work.

4. Was it about trusting Afghanistan warlords to get Osama BL?

6. Osama
Our troops were in the area of Tora Bora where Osama was hiding. Although we have the best troops in the world, Bush outsourced the job to Afgan Warlords and failed to accomplish the task.

7. Warlords ...

We "outsourced" the job of finding Osama BL and stabilizing Afghanistan to the warlords of that country while Shrub sent our soldiers on this excursion into Iraq to go after someone who had nothing to do with 9/11.

8. Kerry was talking about
the war in Afghanistan and the hunt for bin Laden and how Bush had pulled the American troops out and "outsourced" the hunt for bin Laden to the warlords in Afghanistan. So bin Laden is still out there and our troops are pounding sand in Iraq. (my words not Kerry's)
Way to go George.

10. Ossama was hanging out in Bora Bora...
all intelligence was correct and he could have been captured, but bush outsourced the job to warlords, warlords who had been part of Ossama, instead of sending out expert ready to kill soldiers to get Ossama.

Little bush was making all types of faces, not knowing what how to respond. He came back with some lame attack against Kerry and never answered Kerry's challenge.

11. "Outsourced" the job to others when the finest fighting force was at his
command. This should be the lead story on the front pages of America's newspapers.
