I smell a MOAB ad campaign coming from the Kerry campaign

During this week, I think Kerry will unleash a MOAB ad campaign that will link all the stories breaking in the USA TODAY and NYT about Bushco incompetence into one, simple, devastating indictment of the frauds that occupy our government...smashing once and for all the lie that Bush can keep us safe.

Time to finish this thing...

11. Know what you mean...

...sometimes I feel like I'm listening to a lot of Pentagon-speak with all the DEFCON 3242, MAGLO289, and the Super MOAB 321. :silly:

7. Mother of all Bombs

The bomb that they tested right before (or maybe just at the beginning of) the current war. It is a HUGE conventional weapon bomb capable of destroying a small village, or, at the very least a small military facility.

15. I hope so

At the beginning of the campaign I didn't know too much about Kerry, but just in the past months I have come to the conclusion that he is pretty darn smart. He certainly has the ammo (poor-taste pun intended) to build the MOAB that blows this cartel out of their bunker.

I said in another thread that he could definitely tie the Iraqi explosive cache story to the big point he made during the debates of the ports here not being secure. He could then tie that in with our security being "up in the air" (AKA a crap shoot). There are others.

The Bushies won't have a plausible defense. I honestly cannot think of anything they can say to save face. From what I understand, the only reason why "undecideds" aren't committing to Kerry is that they believe, or want to believe, that Bush will keep them safe. They are on the verge of tipping en masse, and this story may well be the catalyst. The Bushies' only hope is for the whorish media to drop the ball.

20. I saw arches, didn't get to Canyonlands.

I've lived in Utah my whole life and that was the first time I ever made it down there. Sad, huh?
