I mentioned this earlier today in my list of Top 10 gaffes, but I think it's worth repeating. During the debate yesterday, John McCain said the following:
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 Sen. 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.
As I said earlier today, Uh, hello? If you REALLY know how to get bin Laden, then why the F*** haven't you told your pal George Dubya Bush and gone in there and GOTTEN HIM? I mean, he only killed 3,000 Americans and all. Grrrr.
Meanwhile, SusanG on Daily Kos weighs in as well and nails it!
Let's get this straight: John McCain claims--and has claimed at least twice before last night--to know how to catch the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. And he's sure he can do it. But he's gonna keep it a secret that he won't share with anyone unless he's elected, and only then will he implement it. You know, responsibly.Yep, this is the guy whose entire campaign is built around the motto of Country First.
Frankly, if John McCain REALLY knows where bin Laden is and how to get him but he's not telling the appropriate authorities, that's very close to treasonous behavior. Again, Osama bin Laden killed 3,000 Americans and is plotting to kill a lot more, possibly with weapons of mass destruction. Apparently, John McCain would rather lose a city (or two) than lose an election!
