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!!!! This post has been edited by Cpt. Snot Rocket: 09/11/07 4:18pm -------------------- |

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the
boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects: a Bible a silver dollar a bottle of whisky a Playboy magazine. "I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum." The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's centerfold. "Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered, "he's gonna run for Congress!" -------------------- ![]() ![]() |

I for one can't stand our representatives.They seem to care more about thier political asperations than the future of this country.They will say and do anything to get re-elected. If thats not self serving than i don't know what is.They don't represent me thats for sure..You here over and over again fix Health care, S.S., Immigration,the deficit and nothing is ever done. Its all so frustrating and I end up Yelling at the TV ranting and rave like a lunatic. Resently our congress sat down with "General Pitrais" cant spell his name and the Dems could not wait to rip into him.Thier feaking Traitors plane and simple.Yea Iraq is a mess but the bottom line is WE CAN"T LEAVE.Unless you wish to hand over the third biggest oil reserve on the planet to the Iranians and thats not to our best interest is it?And yes it is about OIL..I'm not worried about the Polar bear either! I'm getting off topic and I'm sure MOD will come in here and stick my foot in my mouth..LOL..Be nice MOD. Just blowing off steam.. "T.M." -------------------- ![]() |

It seems to me like he is answering the question George asked which happened to have a quote from Osama in it. That's usually how interviews go.

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. -------------------- |

How about saying that Osama Bin Laden is a terrorist and his opinions are worthless and self serving to his cause. Bringing down the USA!
We want to withdraw troops due to the following reasons:..... -------------------- ![]() Signature designed by Old Man Mike Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. ![]() |

That quote didn't "just happen" to be there that was the WHOLE BASIS for the the question. What challenge - you're getting sucked in again. Al quaeda succeeds because simple minds underestimate their evil cunning. Simple thinking would assume Bin Laden is begging the Dems to try harder to get out of Iraq. Think hard.... Bin Laden is mocking the Dems lack-lustre efforts and is using the whole inadequate efforts by both parties to serve the majority of voters wishes, as a propoganda stunt. I really want to believe you are kidding with fantastic notion that Kerry is telling Americans around the 9/11anniversary that he's sympathizing with Bin Laden.... get real my friend. I'm no Kerry fan -nor a fan of most of the dems running for 2008 presidency, but get real..... you'll twist his words into a statement of apology to Bin Laden's taunting propoganda but won't make any critique into his very accurate remark on how Bush snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Afghanistan by refocussing/getting duped into a farce of an endeavour by getting mired in Iraq with so many exceptional resources that could be used in more critical areas. You can bet by the almost lax daring/taunting in his tape, Bin Laden doesn't care too much about Iraq now since his real organization infrastructure is now likely fully operational again. Now that he's 'safe' -somewhere in Pakistan or Afghanistan you can bet the monster is licking his chops now with the luxury of planning when he'll like to make his showcase strike. 6-pak said it all - "Bin Laden is a terrorist and his opinions are worthless and self serving to his cause."

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.

I received this in an email and thought I would post it. Food for thought:
Worse than you thought & worth remembering and this came from a Democrat. Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton, I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically: 1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out? 2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until he was a little older to discuss it with him, but now he knows more about it than I did as a senior in college. 3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "it" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one does NOT have sex. 4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all. 5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John ; Kennedy look moral. 6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising. 7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment's from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals. 8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necess ary trips. 9 Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars (I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars) for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration. 10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society. (Not to mention the scores you pardoned while Governor of Arkansas) 11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends." 12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you! 13. Please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay! 14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus i n Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners". However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" th at all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth? What a guy!! If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts, pa ss this on. God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally. SINCERELY, A US Citizen PS. Please pass along a special thank you to Al Gore for "inventing" the Internet, without which I would not be able to send this wonderful, factual e-mail. AND THE REST OF THE STORY Hillary Rodham Clinton, a s a New York State Senator, now comes under the "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies. (Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?) If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that? WE DO! It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York. Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage e payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the > acreage to house the Secret Service agents. The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff -- and, this is all perfectly legal! When she runs for President, will you vote for her? WAKE UP AMERICA.................. -------------------- ![]() Signature designed by Old Man Mike Never take life seriously.
