Obama says Don't Lecture Me About Terrorism!: Bin Laden still free because of Repug tactics

Obama: Bin Laden still free because of GOP tactics
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Democrat Barack Obama says he'll take no lectures from Republicans on who will keep America safer. GOP rival John McCain's campaign criticized Obama Tuesday for speaking approvingly of the successful prosecution of terrorists.

A McCain aide said, "Obama is a perfect manifestation of a September 10th mind-set" and does not understand the dangers posed by U.S. adversaries.

Obama told reporters that the Republicans have no "standing to suggest that they've learned a lot of lessons from 9-11."

He said they "helped to engineer the distraction of the war in Iraq at a time when we could have pinned down the people who actually committed 9-11." He said Osama bin Laden is still at large in part because of their failed strategies.

Before this election season is over, Obama will have stripped every Republican of any claim of being 'strong on terrorism.'

Here's hoping he singles out Ghouliani and eviscerates him.

I'm glad to see it--looks like he learned something.

:P

They took their sights off the real killer out of greed, and he's still on the loose.

Surprised the AP is reporting this!

:kick: :thumbsup:

whip McCains arse during this election. They may as well surrender now or come up with another candidate. The gloves are off! Gobama!!!!!

he turns around and knocks em on their asses. I love it! :bounce:

They do not know how badly they're going to get run over by the O-Train.

By the time they grab a clue, it'll be way too late.

'bout time we had a real ass kicking candidate. And Campaign McSame plays into his hands every single time.
:rofl:

and...surprise! McCain brings out Rudy! (someone should feel free to make an op about this itself, I would but I already have three for today)


" After spending nearly $60 million to discover that his 9/11 magic carpet just didn't quite have the power to carry him into the White House, Rudy has suddenly resurfaced again in the presidential race for the sole purpose -- fittingly -- of flogging September 11th on behalf of John McCain Rudy has jumped into the dust-up today over the McCain camp's claims that Obama has a "September 10th mindset." From a new Rudy statement sent out by the McCain campaign...

"Throughout this campaign, I have been very concerned that the Democrats want to take a step back to the failed policies that treated terrorism solely as a law enforcement matter rather than a clear and present danger. Barack Obama appears to believe that terrorists should be treated like criminals -- a belief that underscores his fundamental lack of judgment regarding our national security"

hehe, I like this little tidbit by TPM as well.
"as you may recall, as a candidate Rudy seemed to suggest that there were similarities between the waterboarding that's practiced on terrorists and the intensive questioning he practiced on criminals as U.S. Attorney. So, clearly, Rudy was already a bit confused about some of the distinctions and categories at play here, poor fellow."

Obama is going to clean the floor with McCain. :toast:
