John Kerry Defends Himself to Osama!!!, Unreal!! Options

[Cpt. Snot Rocket]

I can't believe that a United States Senator feels that he needs to defend himself or apologize to Osama bin Laden! Listen to this...



On "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" GEORGE says: "Let me turn to that Osama Bin Laden tape. I want to show it. He seemed to be taunting the Democrats for not stopping the war. He said, 'The Democrats haven't made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions of dollars to continue the killing and the war there.' Now, is it true that there are more troops in Iraq today than when Democrats were elected last November to control Congress? Is that a failure?"


KERRY: We don't have 60 votes, George. No, I don't think it's a failure. We have changed the policy. We've already changed direction. We've had these revaluations taking place. We've had an accountability that never existed in the last years. And obviously that's what elections are about, and 2008 will be about it. Osama Bin Laden's tape is testimony to one thing, the failure of this administration to capture and kill him, the failure at Tora Bora and the failure subsequently.



John Kerry actually tries to defend himself to Osama by saying that they(Democrats) don't have enough votes to stop the spending, troop surge or the war!!!!!!!!!!! Unreal! Can you believe this!?!?!



He THEN turns around and says that it's all Bush's fault on why he isn't dead!!!!! Un-freakin-real!!!!

Huh? George is directly quoting Osama and then, in essence, asked Kerry to answer Osama's challenge. I fail to see how it could be taken any other way.
That quote didn't "just happen" to be there that was the WHOLE BASIS for the the question.

George prefaced the question with a statment about Osama, but then asked this question "Now, is it true that there are more troops in Iraq today than when Democrats were elected last November to control Congress? Is that a failure?" So, the "Osama" part is not part of the question. Basically, these are the types of verbal minefields reports throw at politicians. I would assume if Kerry had been more on the ball, he would have cleverly added a preface of his own, as 6pak pointed out, then answer the question. Instead, he ignored the Osama preface and answered the question like mort politicians would, by trying to deflect the answer and switch the focus/blame to someone else.

In reality, I suppose the "answer" to the first part was "yes', there are more troops (simple fact), and the answer to the second part is probably "yes" from a Domocrat perspective, because despite a majority in Congress some Domocrats are afraid to sign a bill for a clear pull-out, so in the end a bill gets passed that a majority of Democrats don't really support. Now, whether that is an ACTUAL failure or a decision in the best interests of the USA is a matter for debate.
