On a local Milwaukee news station WISN - Kerry was asked to respond to the new Bin-Laden tape and bits of it were played for him and he actually had the gall to say something to the effect of:
"Well, if Bush hadn't let him get away in Tora Bora..."
Can you believe this? After he praised the mission at the time! After Tommy Franks was very clear that no one was sure he was there. After he knows we had Special Forces in there!
He uses this awful veriled threat to score political points!
I've heard Holbrooke and Begala both say this on CNN.
There needs to be a backlash. This feeds right into "he'll say anything..."
Awaiting a transcript.
Thanks for posting this. Why is this lying turd so close in the polls to President Bush? I just don't get it.
Apparently, Kerry under the impression that his 4 hour tour on PT Minnow makes him more qualified in military matters than Franks?
he is the monster of ALL dirtbags.
Bush had the CLASS to say he was sure Sen. kerry agreed.
Comeon landslide!
Ditto that.
Dan
carl cameron on it now!!
Fox News is already reporting this statement
Waiting for a source to confirm.
Trust but verify.
Jay Severin is now flipping his prediction on Kerry winning saying OBL's endorsement will tip it to Bush.
Oh come on, let's have this fight...
If we have Kerry saying "TORA BORA" one more time -- after the Osama Bin Ladin / Michael Moore Hateumentary, I have to believe he is finally, finally finished.
bury kerry
So is Bin Laden actually on the Kerry campaign payroll, or is this just volunteer work?
Well .. you were right
We are literally going to have to force the MSM to report this Kerry statement, because it is outrageous -- and it will destroy Kerry politically. Talk about a tin ear.
I think the polls are bogus, come on with all the media scams and schemes, why can't the polls be scammed as well?
you joined today to post something that nobody else has seen to prpovoke a response.
Thread, beware!
You are welcome. I about dropped dead when I saw this. This guy is trash and he just bared his a$$ on TV.
HOW IS FOX PLAYING THIS? I missed it. I watch CNN to know what the enemy is up to.
Look what Kerry said now..
Nothing was preventing Kerry from taking his 4 month Vietnam experience to Afghanistan and capturing Bin Laden himself if he thinks it was as easy as he says.
:-)
listeniing to fox all afternoon, didn't hear this.
carl cameron just said it 5 minutes ago...chill
Thought I'd bring this post over here

From Fox News: Kerry origionally thought out-sourcing the hunt to catch Bin Laden by the war lords in Afghanistan was a good idea....big flip flop!
This whole thing will fall to Bush's advantage, imo.

I have no words..............
Here's how Carl Cameron reported it:
part of the problem with osama bin laden was that the president didn't actually capture him when he was trapped in the tora bora mountains during the war in afghanistan, suggesting that senator kerry believe there is may be vulnerability to the president for this if american voters believe that the president didn't capture him. It should be noted that at the time senator kerry said that "outsourcing to the afghan war lords" seemed to be a fairly good way of capturing osama bin laden, though it didn't worK

So predictable
Fox is reporting on it now....stand down.
Tora Bora. We Tora big ahole for a Bora. Lets tear another ahole for Kerry. I think that every time he says this it may play with the Howard Dean Crowd but for most of American it is arm chair quarterbacking and trashing the troops. Everyone knows that the Generals decided what to do based on what the elite special forces thought. To slam Bush, he slams the Generals and the troops and that brings back echoes of Viet Nam. Then when he says "I will hunt down, I will ......" it sounds phony and fake, but of course he is phoney and fake and OBL's dream president.
From your lips to the voters ears.
Hey, this is fer real. They played it on CNN.
I'm not kidding about this. I just emailed NRO as well.
This bag of $hit cannot be allowed to get away with that oh-so presidential statement on the tarmac being the only thing he said.
On the tarmac it was "we are united." On WISN it was trash, lie, and spin!
he cannot get away with this!
I'll believe it when I see it. He's an ass, but I think he'd know better than to say that right out of the gate. I'd love to be wrong though!
I take this to mean that Severin was out of his mind for his initial prediction, and has spent the last few days waiting for the right opportunity to present itself for him to change his mind.
I think the circle closes,the foreign leader that Kerry said wants him to win probably first made contact when he was in Tora Bora.He didn`t learn so surely about his presence there from attending senate intelligence committee meetings.
Actually Kerry and Bin Laden are related-compare their snouts.
You tag teaming now,,,I am listeniing and that was not reported.
Dont ever tell me to chill newbie,,you haven't earned the right.
Yep ... I should have known better
"wow, that didn't take long. I thought he would wait at least until Sunday or Monday to go after this."
He can't help himself. Seems he has absolutely no self-control. Thinking of only HIMSELF and how to USE this for his personal & political gain. Another stark contrast to Pres. Bush...
The Kerrorist flip flopped AGAIN, by doing this! He stated on the MSM Kerrorist Cells that Americans were united against terrorism. Then he turns around and commits an act of Kerrorism and places blame on Bush...
I thought, that phoney idiot...playing Jack Nicholson at a time like this!
There's more honor and integrity in what comes out of Kerry's a$$ than what comes out of his mouth.
well said.
LOL,,Dog you have earned the right to tell me to stand down!
Two words
"SOME BEACH"
Sorry. Didn;t mean to come off that way.
the lying turd is close to Bush in the polls because the dems/libs are buying his sh*t hook line and sinker, their hatred for Bush has made them irrational - the battle cry from the left is "anyone but Bush" and if gigilo is elected they will get "anyone" gigilo is a loser, take it from someone who lives in MASSACHUSETTS where he has done nothing, nothing, zero, nada, nil for 20 years yet these blind dems just keep re-electing him over and over - ditto teddy hiccup!
Kerry and his Saddam-ites blame Bush for hurricanes, so no
surprises here...
If Kerry said this, it is great: Bush has yet to really be able to nail the sh*t out of that nonsense argument about Tora, Bora (even though it can (and to some extent has been) nailed by Tommy Franks and Skerry's own comments about how great Bush was doing, etc.) So this will be a chance to really put that one to bed over the weekend and just show Skerry as the "say anything at any given moment" guy that he is.
