Reid Releases Rant about Renegade Recapture
Page 9, I think, from the DC Examiner. Just a little note on the editorial page....Ugly Numbers 1,422 day since Sept. 11, 2001, that Osama bin Laden has gone uncaptured. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., recently released this number and compared it to the number of days from the bombing of Pearl Harbor until the Japanese surrendered (1,365). But is the bin Laden figure quite as âuglyâ as it seems? Sure, itâd be nice to have bin Laden behind bars, but Reid seems to conveniently forget that, leading up to the Japanese surrender, the United States lost nearly 52,000 soldiers in the Pacific, dropped two atomic bombs and killed more than 100,000 civilians. Is Reid actually advocating such measures in the hunt for Osama bin Laden? Or is he simply spinning numbers for political fodder to use against the president? Reid didnât forget, but he knows many Americans have forgotten, or for the younger generation, never knew. A lot of folks will say, âYeah, wossamatta wid dat Bush?â Posted by: Bobby 2005-08-23 |
