McCain: "I'll get Osama bin Laden, my friends. I'll get him. I know how to get him."

http://www.courant.com/news/nationworld/hc-debatetranscript-1007,0,2995503.story

<snip>

SEN. MCCAIN: I mean, not true. Not true. I have obviously supported those efforts that the United States had to go in militarily, and I have opposed those that I didn't think so. I understand what it's like to send young Americans into harm's way. I say -- I was joking with a veteran -- I hate to even go into this -- I was joking with an old veteran friend who joked with me about Iran.

But the point is that I know how to handle these, these, these crises. And Senator Obama, by saying that he would attack Pakistan -- look at the context of his words. I'll get Osama bin Laden, my friends. I'll get him. I know how to get him. I'll get him no matter what. And I know how to do it. But I'm not going to telegraph my punches, which is what Senator Obama did. And I'm going to act responsibly as I have acted responsibly throughout my military career and throughout my career in the United States Senate. And we have fundamental disagreements about the use of military power and how you do it. And you just saw it in response to previous questions.

1. Richard Nixon had a plan to end the war in Vietnam.
We all know how well that turned out.

3. Why doesn't he tell his friend George how to catch him?
Wouldn't that be 'country first'?

11. So much for his
country first slogan. He's not going to tell anyone how to catch him, unless he becomes president.

Fucking Traitor!

9. How could a loyal soldier withhold such crucial information from his CIC ?
What does it say about his ethics that McLiar would know how to capture the nation's leading enemy and not tell his Commander in Chief?

14. I thought the same about Ronald Reagan
when he claimed to have a "secret plan" to release the hostages in Iran.

thing.

15. It involves a box, some string and a copy of "Jihad Weekly"
Which I think is a Murdoch publication.
