The entire CIA urges Kerry to focus efforts on STFU.

[bmwcyle]

I say put Kerry on a long string and pass him over Pakistan as bait.

WHERE'S THE BARF ALERT???????????

[johnny7]

Wonder if he was wearing... 'the hat'... when he wrote the letter.

What is this, Kerry's 1000th press release concerning the War on Terrorism? Not one of them has made sense yet. Why should we expect anything different?

John isn't happy that Bin Laden is holed up, relegated to making low grade video tapes once per quarter. No, he want's the press to focus on the fact that Laden hasn't been caught yet, as if it mattered.

Nice try John. Say, weren't you in Vietnam?

Did Ta-reeee-za's last facelift make her look too much like OBL?
Oh, wait a sec...

[marron]

Just trying to sucker the administration into revealing its current Bin Ladin unit so it can be exposed to the New York Times.

[Txsleuth]

I am really wondering who the heck cares what Kerry says..

[popdonnelly]

Reconstitute that unit, and everything it knows will be leaked to the New York Times.

[Diogenesis]

Why doesn't he just ask his supporters -- and benefactors?

[sinkspur]

Kerry is so friggin' desperate to appear relevant in the war on terror, isn't he?

It's pathetic and embarrassing.

[gov_bean_ counter]

For all Faux Man knows, the unit could be already up and rerunning. Believe me, he would be the last to know.

[bray]

Hey we should focus on catching not killing Bin Hiding, what genius!! Sorry, the CIA is too busy running a coup against the President.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

"This unit should be reconstituted immediately and given all resources necessary to finish the job of holding bin Laden accountable and preventing him from organizing or inspiring future attacks against the United States and our allies," Kerry wrote to Negroponte.

I wrote for all resources necessary, before I wrote against them...

[Just mythoughts]

So JFKerry did not know about what the CIA was doing until the Times told him?

This appears more like one of those 'I can talk about this publicly since it is in the public domain....', sure got to wonder if the Times is not the classified dump the liberals are using so they can warn their friends about what is known.

WHERE'S THE BARF ALERT???????????

If a headline starts with "Kerry says" or "Kerry urges" or "Kerry whatevers"...a Barf Alert would be redundant.

[Southack]

"He argued that the United States cannot ignore the fact that "eliminating bin Laden would still strike a key blow" against al Qaeda and represent a significant step forward in the war on terror."

And once we get Bin Laden, Senator Kerry will say that it doesn't mean a thing, that Bin Laden was just an impotent figurehead, and that it took too long, anyway.

The Dems are so specious, so duplicitous, that it's not even worth listening to them.

Their idea of deep thinking is reading the daily newspaper and blaming everything bad on President Bush; portraying every U.S. action as bad; claiming "unilateralism" is bad re: Iraq, but that "multi-lateralism" is bad re: North Korea.

That's not analysis, that's surface-level reactionism.

When was the first time that Senator Kerry ever mentioned this CIA group, for instance? It's not as though he's been talking about that group for years and years.

His staff saw the CIA group mentioned in yesterday's newspaper, so today he acts as though that CIA group was important (even though he's never talked about it before).

That's enormously superficial. The *left* fails to display long term thinking or deep analysis...just reactionism.

[pleikumud]

Kerry belongs in jail for treason, not in the U.S. Senate.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

If only...
