Kerry calls for Rumsfeld's resignation after new 'Bin Laden' tape
Washington - US Senator John Kerry on Sunday called on Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to resign following the airing of a new recording attributed to fugitive al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
Bin Laden slipped past US troops from his hideout in the Tora Bora area of Afghanistan in late 2001 because Rumsfeld had not committed enough troops to finding him, Kerry, the Democratic Party candidate in the 2004 presidential election, told ABC television.
The failure to catch the al-Qaeda head on that occasion was one of the biggest catastrophes in the war against terrorism, Kerry added.
The US military says it has no information on the exact whereabouts of bin Laden, but suspects he is hiding somewhere along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In the voice recording aired Sunday by pan-Arab channel al- Jazeera, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden said that the West was waging a crusade against Islam, which their boycott of Hamas and their intervention in Sudan proved.
'Their [the West's] boycott of Hamas confirmed that it is a crusade Zionist war against Muslims,' bin Laden said.
The recording was the first appearance of bin Laden in the Arab media since al-Jazeera aired a voice recording on January 19 in which the al-Qaeda leader offered the West an armistice.
In Sunday's recording, bin Laden said that the rejection by the West of his armistice was proof that the West opposed dialogue. The West was insisting on continuing a crusade war against 'our nation.'
Kerry and the rest of the Dims really don't care about all the issues they complain about on a daily basis. They are just tired of being in the minority. They want back in power so they can pass their agenda. You know, the agenda they don't talk about. The agenda that will be so destructive to our nation like nothing we have seen before.
Sounds like Kerry wants to crank up the war effort. A hawk among hawks, out-hawking Hillary.
Kerry really should do something about his crack problem.
It's now official. Osama bin Laden is John Kerry's foreign affairs advisor. I knew it all along!
He doesn't need a job. He is already a highly paid gigilo..........
And it rhymes, making it easier for him to remember.
And just the right nuance.
I'll see your call for Kerry's resignation, and raise you three calls for the resignation of Kennedy, Schumer, and Feinstein!
Kerry was against bin Laden BEFORE he was for bin Laden.
A great picture! Is it enhanced? Gee, If only Cheney had the other gun, we and Kerry would be out of our misery.
Kerry???? Who WAS he again?? You say a footnote in the ledger of idiots? Now I remember...
It's it amazing that Kerry and his ilk whine about too few troops, and yet they were willing to go after terrorism as if it were a law enforcement problem, sicking the FBI on Bin Laden.
No. He thinks he's cool.
There's got to be a special place in hell for people who have never had an honest joy in their lives, but who have pretended to have one by sucking off the public teat.
I'll see you that, and raise you Boxer, Durbin, and the Beast.
Is Kerry so afraid of a tape that he thinks it's a security crisis? God, where do these idiots come from?
"Washington - US Senator John Kerry on Sunday called on Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to resign following the airing of a new recording attributed to fugitive al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden."
For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.
Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen
