Democrats Pledge to 'Eliminate' Osama
Democrats Pledge to 'Eliminate' Osama

WASHINGTON - Congressional Democrats promise to "eliminate" Osama bin Laden and ensure a "responsible redeployment of U.S. forces" from Iraq in 2006 in an election-year national security policy statement.

In the position paper to be announced Wednesday, Democrats say they will double the number of special forces and add more spies, which they suggest will increase the chances of finding al-Qaida's elusive leader. They do not set a deadline for when all of the 132,000 American troops now in Iraq should be withdrawn.

"We're uniting behind a national security agenda that is tough and smart and will provide the real security George Bush has promised but failed to deliver," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in remarks prepared for delivery Wednesday.

His counterpart in the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., said the Democrats are offering a new direction — "one that is strong and smart, which understands the challenges America faces in a post 9/11 world, and one that demonstrates that Democrats are the party of real national security."

1. Well, Bush has been "elimidating" Osama's pal Abdullah
for several years, now.

2. Are we still worried about Osama?
I though al-Zarqawi was the "big guy" now. :eyes:

3. Good! K&R
Afterall - Bush isn't concerned about Osama and we can't let people forget he stated as much six short months after 911.

5. Osama is retired. He is a symbol of past glory.
Al Q. has moved forward and has branched out with subsidiaries.

Capturing or assinating him now would be anti-climatic.

As usual, Dems are slow and behind the eight ball.

8. Sounds like Bush speak to me.
Capturing OBL now or a year from now, should be a priority.

9. A real plan is offered by Democrats. Bush's "Dead or Alive" statement was
just another in a series of empty promises.

10. Liz Sidoti is an IDIOT.
She says the Dems don't disclose the details about how they plan to capture OBL.

Since when does someone announce in the international press how they plan to capture someone else?

What a TOOL this broad is.
