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."

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

Was Bush also responsible for McCain’s capture?

I saw that “rally” outside City Hall. McCain looked so OLD. Totally clueless and brainless. Dementia setting in. Even screwed up his “drunken sailor” joke and every other line. No way he either gets the nomination or is elected.

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)

Unless of course it would require waterboarding to get the information on where Bin Laden is. Right, Johnny boy?

McCain's "Ahab Syndrome" showing again.

I love 20:20 hindsight...someone should tell the DevGru and Delta task force guys that McCain knows what to do. Give me a break.
Also, just what, exactly, is John McCain famous for besides losing his A-4 to enemy fire and being held as a POW by the NVA for 5 years? Before that he was at the bottom of his class at Annapolis and generally a carouser.

Hi sofaman.
Did you see that McManiac, in Saturday night’s ABC debate, also blatantly took credit for the Petraeus surge strategy?
Shameless!

This the captain speaking. Some misguided sailors on this ship still think they can pull a fast one on me. Well, they're very much mistaken. Since you've taken this course, the innocent will be punished with the guilty. There will be no liberty for any member of this crew for three months. I will not be made a fool of! Do you hear me?
