John McCain: I Know How To Catch Bin Laden

Last week, John McCain proclaimed that he knew how to win wars. Today, he's taking it a step further, telling voters that he not only knows how to capture and bring to justice Osama bin Laden, but is going to do it.

Appearing on the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, the Arizona Republican was reminded that he had vowed to bring Osama bin Laden to justice and was asked how he would differ in that task from President Bush.

Initially saying that he would not "telegraph" the specifics, McCain declared, "Look, I know the area, I've been there, I know wars, I know how to win wars, and I know how to improve our capabilities so that we will capture Osama bin Laden -- or put it this way, bring him to justice... We will do it, I know how to do it."

Proclaiming that he will capture the elusive terrorist leader -- and knows how to do it -- is a fairly bold assertion and leads to the question: what information is McCain holding back from the Bush administration?

But the Senator has made broad foreign policy promises before. This past week he told a crowd in Albuquerque, New Mexico: "I know how to win wars. I know how to win wars... And if I'm elected President, I will turn around the war in Afghanistan, just as we have turned around the war in Iraq, with a comprehensive strategy for victory, I know how to do that."

2. "Look, I know the area, I've been there..."

But can he see it from his house?

3. And he hasn't told us how to win the wars, either!

After all, as he told us, he WINS wars! He's a winnah!

He won Viet Nam all by himself, too!

6. He does know how to set fire to an aircraft carrier or at

least drop a bomb on the flight deck of the Forestal during the fire that killed 180 or so and injured many more while destroying dozens of air craft and burned through something like 10 decks. It is a bit hard to remember the exact details it has been 30 years since I last saw that film
while stationed aboard USS Enterprise, I still have nightmares and a phobia of fires. I looked up the wiki /McCain to refresh my memory, and it does not read like I heard from flight crew old timers who were on Forrestal and were aboard Enterprise while I was. No zuni was ever mentioned to me.
Any Navy guys here will 'Remember the Forestal"...

I am not really happy with the current administration I can only think of how much worse it could be with Mac and Caribou Barbie running the government. That gives me nightmares as bad as reliving the film does.

5. Well, in all fairness to McCain, he probably forgot he said it.

And probably not entirely because of his age either. Hell, if I was him, I'd be trying to black out any time I spent with Sarah Palin.
