McCain: ‘I will get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice’
Source: Burlington County Times

PEMBERTON TOWNSHIP – Republican presidential candidate John McCain said he wants America to expand its use of nuclear power, improve education and for Republicans and Democrats to work together to fix the economy.

But perhaps his boldest message during today’s town hall meeting at Burlington County College was a personal promise that America would bring to justice the man responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“I will look you in the eye and promise you that I will get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice,” McCain said in response to a direct question from one of the 2,000 people in attendance at the college’s Pemberton campus gym.

McCain said the key to ending the long search for bin Landen was to increase the number of human spies abroad.

“We need better human intelligence. We need people who can swim in the water,” McCain said.

I'm starting to think McCain just isn't that bright. I've yet to see a single sign that he's any smarter than the average Freeper.

15. Too late McCain. Bush already made that promise. It's been done.
"We're going to find those evildoers, those barbaric people who attacked our country, and we're going to hold them accountable," Bush said. "We're going to hold the people who house them accountable. The people who think they can provide them safe havens will be held accountable. The people who feed them will be held accountable." - G.W. Bush, 9-17-2001

17. Sure. And ants will miraculously crawl from my navel.
Also:

" . . . was a personal promise that America would bring to justice the man responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks."

Not to defend Bin Laden, but has there ever been any concrete, beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt PROOF that he was "responsible" for the attacks?

Nope! Hell, we never got the White Paper Powell promised us in 2001. Even the FBI doesn't have OBL on their most wanted site for 9/11.

22. Benazir Bhutto said Osama bin Laden was dead.
http://www.infowars.com/articles/world/pakistan_bhutto_said_osama_bin_laden_was_dead.htm

Bhutto asserted to David Frost less than two months ago that bin Laden had been murdered by Omar Sheikh, whom the Sunday Times once described as "no ordinary terrorist but a man who has connections that reach high into Pakistan's military and intelligence elite and into the innermost circles" of bin Laden and al-Qaeda.

34. I have read that she meant to say Daniel Pearl.
Have you read the book, Who Killed Daniel Pearl? It is written by a French author who claims to have traced Pearl's last steps and investigated his killers. The author theorizes that the murders (brutal murderers) of Daniel Pearl had connections to certain individuals in the Pakistani intelligence or secret services.

24. riiiight
is it just me or has the (purposeful?) incompetence of the republicans begun to give OBL mythic boogie-man qualities?

in 100 years he will be immortal, 500 feet tall, super strong, breathe fire, and will have physically gone to NYC on 9/11 and stomped the WTC.

I'm almost certain that he's already dead, he was on dialysis back before he had to start living in caves; since we'll never find a body we'll have to listen to this moronic saber rattling for ages. it'll be like the sightings of Hitler.

Edited on Fri Jun-13-08 04:07 PM by Maineman
I think McCain wants to be Pres for two reasons, (1) to do a better job of making war, and (2) to take care of people like his wife. Bush did an especially good job of the latter, but I am sure they need some more breaks.

He knows the enemy very well. You see Osama & his homies are hiding in the Arabian Sea, therefore we need persons who can swim.
