#2 Anyone listen to sKerry tonight on Larry King? He criticized the failure to capture bin Laden in Tora Bora, noting that we had Army troops in the region but chose to let the Afghan milita try to nail him instead. sKerry claimed that he and Skippy-boy would prosecute the WoT better.

#3 If Bush hadn't divided our military forces Osama would be dead or in jail awaiting trial by now.

#4 What's that I smell? It's getting thicker, isn't it? Hhmmm, troll droppings.
At least it's honest.

Think of it this way, Troll--we're just spreading the wealth. If Bush hadn't divided our forces, that would mean so many more "innocent" Afghan civilians dead or injured, wouldn't it? It's the law of declining profits, doesn't this work out for you? Isn't that what American armed forces do best? :)

#5 Care to back that statement up with facts and reason? Bet you cannot - at least not anything that coudl witstand critical analysis by someone who knows the forces involved and politics of the nations in the region.

#6 Eh? Sorry OS, that was rhetorical.

#7 Osama is dead in some collapsed Afghan cave. If he were alive I'm sure he'd be eager to release a video showing himself with a recent newspaper... and ranting about how he will destroy America!

#8 I did enjoy the rumor that Binny is currently locked up in the basement of Musharaff's Presidental mansion, ready to be handed over to Bush for an "October Surprise". Not bloody likely, but a great conspiracy theory.

#9 We're gonna have to send an angry RantBurg lettre of protest to Charles Johnson for starting up registration.

I smell Kamel Krapper, Irish Idiot and one other vague stinker.

#10 MSM: "Uh, yes, Mr. Ridge, I know you just told us that there's no specifics on timing or location of the next attack, just some intel on them planning it. Could you tell me, what's President Bush's exit strategy for Afghanistan and the American people would like to know EXACTLY how much it's going to cost."

Ridge: "I'm going to pretend you didn't just ask that question, you troll."

This guy is the biggest Monday Morning QB I have ever seen. He has done nothing pre-emptively that is original, innovative, positive, organized or efficient in terms of policy or executive management ability. All his ideas and policies are knee jerk reactions. And when he does talk he looks down on you, condenscendingly, with that late-Lurch look. I shiver at the thought of this cabal of idiots getting into the WH while we have the WoT going on.

#12 Steve W, the LKL appearance is the same one where he admitted that he was too busy (partying with celebs in NYC as it turns out) to hear the briefing on the recent threat warnings offered by the Bush Administration. What a loser!

#13 So Binny and Zawahiri are communicating via Ouji board?

#14 #11...JiB: Monday morning QB, yes, but you must admit...they have great hair and that's what matters!

#15 I'm with Scooter and ed. No way to know right now, but I bet Osama is sweating it out on the eternal rotisserie right now, not hiding out in Pakistan.

#16 Steve-yep, sure did. And as usual, he was guaranteeing what cannot be guaranteed-what he will get from other countries once he becomes president. Kerry is the personification of boastful assumption. It's laughable, except that some actually buy it.
