YOU surrendered to al-Qaeda bastard. Your party's Iraq diversion gave bin-Laden a 7-year safe haven

[bigtree]

in Afghanistan . . . YOU and your republican WH allowed bin-Laden to settle into the mountains and take refuge in Afghanistan/Pakistan; allowing him to issue his taunts and threats with impunity and influence a new generation of followers inspired from the freedom you and your party has allowed him with the bulk of our military resources in Iraq -- and propping up Kabul in Afghanistan -- instead of hunting the terror suspects down an having done with it. NOW you promise you'll pursue him, years later.

Republicans, McCain=Weak on Defense


In a speech in Nashville, McCain compared his own position on the Iraq War with that of Obama and Clinton.

"I will never set a date for withdrawal," he said, accusing them of "waving the white flag of surrender."

"I will never surrender. They will surrender," he added.

1. McCain is delusional...

His mindset is as scary as the one that got us into this mess!

[Nostradammit]

2. You honestly think that's Osama issuing those taunts and threats?

3. When you're the insider on a robbery. The last thing you want to do is take out the guy w/ the gun.

In this robbery of the US Treasury. Bin Laden is the guy with the gun.

4. OBL is dead

[Xenotime]

5. I disagree. He his still very much alive.

6. Doesn't really matter if he is dead or alive - USA believes in the Bogey-man

.
.
.

This "War on Terror" from the Administration, and the electorate's gullibility is destroying the United States as a respected nation

It may be already too late to get the USA back up to where it once was, but time will tell

USA has been doing "dirty deals" for decades,

so truth be known

The USA may never regain world respect.

End of an Empire

Before it even got built.

7. Wrong

He died in December 2001.

But if you want to continue to believe *, that is your (ignorant) right.

[slowry]

8. Someone always says that -- do you really know? n/t

[Pastiche423]

9. There are a number of articles

claiming his death. The earliest I've read is December 26, 2001. When the videos of the fat and the skinny OBL were posted on the internet, I knew something wasn't right.

He had a huge ego, yet he denied he had any part of the 9/11 attacks. He has not been seen for many years, except on bogus video/audio tapes.

IMHO, he became the U.S.'s newest boogeyman when one was needed. And don't forget little lord pissypants' statement in March, 2002:

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
