Whitehouse

From Reuters India:

ST. PAUL (Reuters) - Republican candidate John McCain said on
Wednesday that if elected president, he will capture al Qaeda leader
Osama bin Laden.

"President Clinton had opportunities to get Osama bin Laden.
President Bush had opportunities to get Osama bin Laden. I know how to
do it and I’ll do it," he told ABC’s "World News" in an interview.

"I understand and I have the knowledge and the background and the
experience to make the right judgments. Senator Obama does not," McCain
said in a reference to his Democratic rival for the White House, Barack
Obama.

McCain, who was a Navy fighter pilot and spent five years as a
prisoner of war in Vietnam, said Obama "doesn’t know how — how the
world works nor how the military works."

Well, Jesus, what the fuck are you waiting for McCain? If you know how to capture bin Laden, you need to do it now! That’s a $25 million injection for your dying campaign! Get your cardboard box, your stick tied to string, and 72 virgins and go set the trap!

If only you can catch him, then why the heck do we need to wait until after the election for you to do it?

From ABC News via the Drudge Report:

Intelligence and law enforcement sources tell ABC News they are expecting al Qaeda supporters will post a new video on the Internet in the next 24 hours, calling for what one source said is "jihadists to use biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to attack the West."

A completely vague, undefined threat from anonymous sources relating to a ridiculous trifecta of Weapons of Mass Destruction™ that will be released in video format in the next day. I’m sure it’s already on rapidshare.

"There have been several reports that al Qaeda will release a new message calling for the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) against civilians," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko told ABC News in an e-mail.

Who is this group, al Qaeda anyways? How come they just looove killing innocent people so much? I understand that there were terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington DC, and London, but nobody has ever conclusively proven or implied to have proven that any of them were committed by a rag-tag band of oil billionaire fundamentalist muslims called ‘al Qaeda.’

"Although there have been similar messages in the past, the FBI and [Department of Homeland Security] have no intelligence of any specific plot or indication of a threat to the U.S.," the e-mail said. "The FBI and U.S. intelligence community will review the message for any intelligence value."

Again, we have no intelligence of any credible threat to the United States. So what the in the hell are we paying for? Who in the world did the email come from? Why is there never any conclusive evidence of anything when these are released?

Dear President Bush,

5 Years ago, you took us to war in Iraq. Since then, 4000 American soldiers and more than a million Iraqis have been killed in this brutal and senseless war.

You mentioned two years ago that when all was said and done, the Iraq occupation would be "just a comma" in the history books.

Well, hopefully that sentance will read "Bush took the US into an illegal war and occupation, so we tried him for war crimes."

Thanks for listening,

Cal
