GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain knocked President Bush for failing to capture Osama bin Laden despite "opportunities over the past six years, and vowed to "get" the terrorist kingpin if voters put him in the White House.

"I will get Osama bin Laden," McCain told a crowd of supporters at a New Hampshire town hall meeting Saturday – even if it takes following him "to the gates of hell."

"I want to assure you of that as president of the United States," he said.

On Sunday, McCain repeated the promise in an interview with NBC News anchor Tim Russert.

"I'll get him," he said on "Meet the Press."

Asked what he would do differently than Bush, McCain replied, "Well, first of all, I wouldn't have passed up some of the opportunities we passed up, such as Tora Bora."

Bush was also responsible for AMNESTY man crashing and burning in 2000. Keep the facts straight.

Sounds like the drive by media’s favorite maverick, an over the hill 71 year old has been who tried to slip in a new AMNESTY plan is getting a little testy in his old age.

inform McCain that it was Clinton who was handed OBL

And remind McCain he was in the Senate the whole while.

He must be on the sauce. Why would he even say that. He’s finished.

Somebody needs to inform McCain that it was Clinton who was handed OBL on a silver platter and declined

Handed 3 times, I might add.

Whatever any of us may think of his politics, criticizing Senator McCain’s service record is wrong at several levels.

Watch for the right hand to go in the jacket pocket soon, and out come... ball bearngs.

[sofaman]

gratuitous and specious claim by a desperate candidate ... it would be really, really hard to vote for this man.

[Vaquero]

The decision to stop and let the “locals” take Osama at Tora Bora was a political one.

And we all know what happens when politicians try to manage a war. (nothing good)

bingo...you are right...but McCain is still a horses @$$

McCain...even screwed up his “drunken sailor” joke

What joke is that? Maybe something about his friend Ted Kennedy?

[sofaman]

Hey there! Nope. Didn't watch. I can't watch that claptrap. Schmuckabee drives me nuts. The questions are generally inane and usually calculated to entrap and the pandering drives me up a wall.

I find the format stilted and ridiculously formal. The only candidate that speaks from the heart and doesn't look rehearsed and like he has a stick up his bum, is Fred Thompson. All the others look like they need a laxative.

Finally, a post with facts and reason. Thanks.

I fear a replay of Bob Dole w McCain — old, tired, worn out Rep candidate pitted against a young, energetic Dem opponent who, unfortunately, is also an ultraleftist. The Dem gets elected by a new, young and naieve electorate based on affability, looks, and charm, not experience, principles or policies.

This little piss ant needs to go away.he is so stupid and says what he thinks his Dem buddies want to hear...He sounds so much like a democrat these days I guess he isn’t going to hide it any more..Won’t he ever get the picture no one wants him as president..Pitiful little punk..

His nickname since High School is McNasty. He got that because of his temper and the fact that he has always been a Pri*k. Cmon anybody, beat this guy.

McCain is an old stupid fool. There is absolutely no evidence Obama, I mean Osama is alive. None
