I'd have Osama by now - Kerry
New York Daily News ^ | 10/23/04 | News Wire Services

RENO, Nev. - John Kerry said yesterday that if he had run the war against Afghanistan, Osama Bin Laden would be dead or in chains now.

Kerry has accused his rival of letting Bin Laden escape before, saying U.S. forces had the terror mastermind cornered, but left his capture up to Afghan warlords.

He upped the ante yesterday at a rally in Reno, saying, "Can you imagine trusting them when you have your 10th Mountain Division, the United States Marine Corps? I would have used our military and we would have gone after and captured or killed Osama Bin Laden."

A Bush rep called that "another exaggeration of John Kerry, saying anything no matter how untrue it is."

It just occurred to me what Kerry reminds me of. He's SPAM! Like all the crap we get in the email inboxes:

grow a full head of hair overnight
increase your sex drive/parts
pay off all your debt with no $$
lose 18 pounds overnight with no diet or exercise
etc., etc., etc.

This statement tops even the goose hunting ploy for unbelievability. Desperation is bad. He's beyond scraping the bottom of the barrel. A really scary thought popped into my tiny mind last night when I was reading about Ann Coulter's pie attackers. What if the RATs decided to take out GW, hoping the voters would turn to Kerry instead of Cheney? This sounds so off the wall, so beyond decency, but I wouldn't put it past the democRATic party to persuade some nut to do it. I hope the Secret Service has already thought of this.

Someone should remind John that Atta was captured on camera at Boston airport on that terrible day.

And that Daschle's wife was the lobbyist for the airlines and thwarted upgraded security measures BEFORE 9-11.

So ol' Johnny boy would have located binny boy's DNA by now? I didn't know Kerry was a spelunker.

Oh, and btw, I don't believe Kerry or the Breck girl have been to Afghanistan or Iraq, so how can he make this statement?

I hope Kerry is inspired to personally go search for Bin Laden himself!

And Saddam would still be dictator in Iraq, his sons on rape sprees, and as Michael Moore would have us believe, children would still be flying kites in that happy place known as Saddam's Iraq.

Just exactly how tight was the hat on his bunny suit anyway?

John Kerry's plan: Bush's plan, but I woulda' done it faster, stronger, bigger, better, and more sensitively.

Yeah right, Kerry. You have no plan, loser.

What he really means is that he would invite OBL under diplomatic immunity and Secret Service protection to address the UN and explain what we infidels need to do to get his love and respect.

Oh, this is positively deserving of a double-dry heave barf alert.

Lately Kerry's voice has the sound of a desparate man.

Why doesn't the media find some people who were at Tora Bora and ask them what they think of Kerry's most recent pander?

They're too busy surpressing people who served in Vietnam who might have an opinion about John Kerry.

Not only would OBL be captured but Christoper Reeve would be alive and running marathons.

This is eerily reminiscent of Howard Dean's moronic claim that he'd have captured Saddam Hussein long before our troops did.

Besides, Kerry couldn't have caught Osama by now. Kerry went out of his way to decimate our intelligence agencies and our troops' ability to wage war. And to top it off, Kerry would have forked over our national sovereignty to the United Nations.

Somehow I doubt we'd have found Osama by now with France and Germany leading the way...

It must be true. He said it. That's pretty much is his whole campaign.

Kerry doesn't have to search for bin Laden. Bin Laden's been searching for Kerry (to show his support, of course).

Kerry would have never gone into Afghanistan. He would have offered the terrorists health care instead and hope they stop hurtling planes into buildings!

...or passed more anti-Second Amendment gun control laws.

Let's face it. Kerry is hopelessly 9/10.

NO doubt... but first Kerry would have to answer OBL's question...

"Who's your daddy, Johnny?"
