Kerry Slams Bush Again For Tora Bora Fiasco!!!
"War in Iraq was not the battle against al-Qaeda, and in fact the President didn't complete the job against al-Qaeda, didn't even fight that effectively, because he turned his back on the use of American forces at Tora Bora when he had Osama bin Laden and a thousand people cornered in the mountains...I think the result is that they've made the world more dangerous." -Kerry, in Sept. 13 issue of US News and World Report.

I swear to you people, if Kerry hammers down on this incompetence - hiring warlords to fight terrorists - Bush's national security numbers will free fall.

And, I would argue, Kerry should endlessly repeat that he would use "overwhelming force" acccording to the Powell Doctrine, not Rumsfeld's war on the cheap (how much has that cost us in Iraq?).

2. Absolutely agree
"I swear to you people, if Kerry hammers down on this incompetence - hiring warlords to fight terrorists - Bush's national security numbers will free fall."


Bush let bin Laden walk way. That is unforgivable.

5. How Long Have Americans Been Put In Harm's Way?
Kerry should make a point of saying how many months since November of 2001 we have had to live in fear of this evil man (sure, call him evil).

Then Kerry should say that having failed miserably at catching Osama, he tried to turn the public's attention away from a true danger to Saddam, who posed no danger to America beyond harsh words.



What the hell would Bush's reaction be at the debates to this? He would short-circuit and Cheney's human face would fall off like Yul Brennar's in Westworld.

3. YEAH KERRY!!!
I also would like to hear him describe how the BILLIONS of dollars wasted in Iraq could have served us HERE to help protect our homeland (not to mention the thousands and thousands of lives(American, 'coalition,' and Iraqi) that wouldn't have been destroyed.

Come on Kerry, they say you're a closer - I am looking forward to watching you absolutely kick ass in the next few weeks! We are all counting on you!!! :bounce:

4. Kerry faulted Bush for using drug lords instead of "the greatest military
the greatest military in the history of man" to get bin Laden.

I'd say that explains it to most any numb nut.

7. You heard it here first: If he doesn't add an october surprise qualifier
this will come back to bite him on the ass.

You know, ladies and gentlemen, I wouldn't be surprised if Osama suddenly shows up this fall, but why didn't we get him....

9. Exactly, Kerry Will Have Pre-Empted The October Surprise
By claiming that Americans were in harm's way for 2 years. Kerry would have got it right the first time.
