Kerry urges unity in war against terrorism

APPLETON, Wis. (AP) — Presidential challenger John Kerry urged voters on Saturday not to allow the videotaped message from Osama bin Laden to stir up partisan feelings. "As Americans we are absolutely united, all of us. There are no Democrats, there are no Republicans," Kerry said. "As Americans we are united in our determination to destroy, capture, kill Osama bin Laden and all of the terrorists. They are barbarians, and we are going to hunt them down and we will make America safe."

Kerry did not dwell on the new message from the al-Qaida leader, other than to repeat his charge that President Bush allowed bin Laden to escape in the Afghan mountains in late 2001. He concentrated his final weekend appeal on voters who have suffered under Bush's economic and military leadership.

"In three days, a woman or a husband is going to walk into that polling booth and they're going to think about their spouse that left to go to Iraq months ago, maybe close to a year ago," Kerry said. "And they're going to wonder how long that spouse is going to have to stay in Iraq, and the kids are going to be wondering, 'Daddy, Mommy, when are you coming home? Are you coming home?'"

Kerry said his election will give soldiers in Iraq "the leadership and the hope that they need and to get them home."

How touching.

Mr. Kerry has found it convenient to be on OUR side...for the moment.

Kerry gave an interview to WISN in Milwaukee yesterday, where he called 9/11 " a raid."

"Democrat, Republican, there's no such thing," Kerry said. "There's just America and we are all united in hunting down and capturing or killing those who conducted THAT RAID and we always knew that that was Osama bin Laden."

Kudos to Freeper ellery for finding the quote buried in the AP article.

His growing fantasy of being a Warlord (wink-wink nudge-nudge to his base) is getting to be sadly hysterical with some idiot voters buying into it.

Osama finally comes out from his cave Outer Mongolia with his political endorsement. That boring speech had so many Michael Mooreon quotes, he must be getting the Old York Times delivered?? Yawn said that he had world leaders who were hoping that he would become President and now we know who he was talking about. Since he could have easily captured this murderer, he must have been in constant communication. After all, Yaawn Cut & Run Kerry is the most brilliant Armchair General and Monday Morning QB in the Country. Komrade Kerry knows everything about everything, just ask him a veritable Cliff Claven.

The first moment that Yaawn hears about Osama bin Hidin threatening the United States election and it’s people what is Yaawn’s response? Does he state we are unified in defeating this animal? No, he piles on the military, America and the President to score the cheapest of political points. This fits him like a T, he hates the military, America and the President with every vote he has cast or speech given. In unscripted moments, the true John Kerry comes out, the one we saw in 1971, he says that the military failed to catch Osama. Fact is, if Kerry, Clinton or Gore were presidents we would not have even been in Afghanistan. They all said that it was going to be another Vietnam and none of them had the spine to attack a sovereign country. So Osama would still be in his compounds outside of Kabul training terrorists for the next American attack.

We have the country’s most vile enemy attacking our President and our people and what is the first thing out of his mouth. “I would have captured or killed Osama!” What a piece of garbage to make an empty statement when this terrorist is threatening our women and children. First, track records for Rat CIC’s in war is very weak, but assuming he would have let the dogs loose and he ever got to the point our troops got to in Tora Bora, how you going to smoke him out? This is the most inaccessible land in the world. 20,000 foot mountains in the roadless areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan, tell us how YOU would catch him Yaawn??

Comrade Kerry is always the first to criticize our troops, but he never tells us exactly what he can do better. Our main mistake in Tora Bora was we became too sensitive to the terrorists and gave them a cease fire to surrender which is when they escaped. That is what Comrade Kerry would do in Iraq and is why Osama endorsed him. He is tired of raising goats in Outer Mongolia. He wants back in the game like when BJ clinton was treating him like a “nuisance” and is pining for a Kerry return to those days.

He misses the days when he could blow up or murder Americans at will and we would treat it like a police action. Threaten to hunt them down and kill them anywhere, any time yada, yada, yada and then wait for the next attack. He misses the days when the military option was not an option and our military was a meals-on-wheels brigade and no threat to Osama. Yeah, he is hoping and praying that Comrade Kerry will get elected and bring back the good ol days for terrorism when American blood flowed freely in the streets.

George W Bush changed all that! He told the military to sick-um and they did. Now terrorists are either dead or hiding for fear of their lives. Osama has not been able to attack this country once and is losing dozens of men a day. He knows that after GW is elected he is a dead man. He knows that the military is the finest and brightest military in the history of the world. He knows that GW will let the military adapt and destroy with an efficiency that he cannot match. He knows that his only chance of survival now is to get Yaawn elected. He knows that if President Bush is elected he will end up on the Ash Heap of History. Let’s pray America figures out what Osama has.

So in desperation he gives a rambling, long winded monotone speech that was laced heavily with attacks on the President and our military with wild claims from Michael Moore to fire-up his base. Pretty much a Yaawn Cut & Run stump speech who is now his number one fan so Blood will run once again in America’s streets.

Pray for W and Our Election

Kerry said his election will give soldiers in Iraq "the leadership and the hope that they need and to get them home."

Which is why the present military supports Pres. Bush by a 4 to 1 margin and why retired military supports Pres. Bush by a 3 to 1 margin.

Oh... OK

Without a doubt. Clinton was liar and womanizer but he never betrayed the country.

For once I agree with the Medal Winning - Negotiating With The Commies - War Hero - Heiress Marrying - Deer Hunting - Beer Drinking - I Go Bowling On Wednesday Nights - Flip Flopping - Socialist - I didn't do anything in 20 years 'senator' from the bastion of liberty state of Taxachusetts. To show unity we should ALL vote for Bush - including him!

"They are barbarians, and we are going to hunt them down and we will make America safe."

Has anyone noticed that he has changed this statement significantly? He said at the third debate: "I will hunt them down, and we'll kill them," now he has backed off of that (under pressure from whom?) and he has a more euro-weenieish "hunt them down and we will make America safe." What exactly does he have planned for terrorists? Court trials? Negotiations? International assistance? Reparations?

"Presidential challenger John Kerry urged voters...not to allow the videotaped message from Osama bin Laden to stir up partisan feelings."

Then he launches into his usual partisan finger pointing. HASN'T THE KERRY CROWD OF BUSH-HATERS AND BLAME-AMERICA-FIRSTERS BEEN EXPOSED? ISN'T IT NOW CLEAR THAT THEY VALIDATE AND EVEN SCRIPT THE SANCTIMONIOUS RHETORIC OF THESE TERRORIST VIDEOS? AND THEY'RE ALL STILL POINTING THEIR F'in FINGERS!

On his video Bin Laden quotes Michael Moore & the Kerry Campaign about Bush reading a story about a goat on 9/11. He repeats their lie about Bush stealing the 2000 election in Florida.

The American terrorist on the prior video quotes Bill Maher on the courage of 9/11 the terrorists compared to those who launch cruise-missiles.

Actually, komrade krinton did betray the country - he allowed the transfer of our latest missile technology to china thru Loral, his biggest campaign contributor. komrade krinton also found out about the chinese spies infiltrating the weapons labs at Los Alamos and let them continue unhindered until it was found out about the by the alternative press which made that public after which they, the spies, were quietly deported.

Whenever I see something like this, I always think about the interview Hillary did back in the early nineties, where she said she hoped there wouldn't be the politics of divisiveness like we had during the last twelve years of Reagan-Bush.
