John McCain: I Know How To Catch Bin Laden

First Posted: 07-25-08 05:29 PM | Updated: 08- 2-08 05:12 AM



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/25/john-mccain-i-know-how-to_n_115050.html

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."

In today's CNN interview, McCain suggested that a Nuremberg Trial-style hearing for bin Laden would be appropriate upon his capture.

"We have various options. The Nuremberg Trials are certainly an example of the kind of tribunal that we could move forward with. I don't think we'd have any difficulty in devising an international -- internationally supported mechanism that would mete out justice. There's no problem there."

Early in the campaign, it should be noted, McCain went hard after Barack Obama for saying that Bin Laden should not be a "martyr." Obama also suggested Nuremburg as a model -- to which McCain replied that Obama didn't understand the reference.

10. He does know how to catch Bin Laden
He's gonna get a big net and tie a 100 dollar bill to a string attached to a stick
Then he's gonna hide behind a big rock and wait until Osama comes along and sees the bill
McBush will slowly pull the bill toward him as OBN follows it trying to catch the money
And then...Wham
He drops the net and catches bin laden ala Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn and Donald Duck

4. use November GOP House & Senate majorities
Which November GOP majorities? 2050? Will he still be with us then? "cause it's very unlikely the GOP will have majorities in one or either chamber this election.

7. He's playing the fake it till you make it card...
...along with that old GOP standby, "Here's what we promise to do if you elect us, except if you elect us we won't do it" card (see the bin Laden "promise" I posted elsewhere in the thread)...

:patriot:

6. Grampy McBush lost a lot of his "street cred" with conservatives
He's pandering. He'll never repeal it without a replacement, and he'll never get consensus on what that replacement should be from a party that disagrees with the concept of government provided health care in general.

He wants to replace it with "McCain Don'tCare". After all his ego is big enough... Maybe John, you should call it Palin Don'tCare? Yeah, thats the ticket... :P
