Obama: Bin Laden still free because of GOP tactics

[sabra]

WASHINGTON - Democrat Barack Obama says he'll take no lectures from Republicans on who will keep America safer. GOP rival John McCain's campaign criticized Obama Tuesday for speaking approvingly of the successful prosecution of terrorists.

A McCain aide said, "Obama is a perfect manifestation of a September 10th mind-set" and does not understand the dangers posed by U.S. adversaries.

Obama told reporters that the Republicans have no "standing to suggest that they've learned a lot of lessons from 9-11."

He said they "helped to engineer the distraction of the war in Iraq at a time when we could have pinned down the people who actually committed 9-11." He said Osama bin Laden is still at large in part because of their failed strategies.

5. Glad to see it - finally! /nt

6. Bin Laden is free because of a POLITICAL decision by the Bush regime.

They have counted on keeping the American people living in fear - and being able to capitalize on that fear.

7. GOBAMA!!!!

I was initially worried that we were going to end up nominating another "milquetoast" candidate that didn't know how to and/or was unwilling how to stand up to the GOP/MSM and would consequently get mercilessly smeared to defeat in November like all of our recent candidates. It was for this reason that I was initially unsure about Obama and his preparedness for a Presidential run, however I must say that I have been EXTREMELY impressed with his aggressiveness and willingness to confront the GOP and the MSM's nauseating "smear mill" directly, particularly since the end of the Democratic primaries. The only other thing that I can say is, keep it up!!!!!

Good work!

Obama's got the gloves off.

14. the irony here, of course, is that Bin Laden is a foil

more likely a deceased foil, if rumors are to be believed,
but since no one will admit this, Obama is hitting the Republicans with a ghost !!!!
And they can't do a damn thing about it..


love it

15. Two words for Obama: "sustain it."

Keep the level of intensity sustained through November and then go to work for the next four years to do your best to fix eight years of Bush.

:patriot:

16. GOP tactic: "Get on top of that oil and drive up the price!!"

Thanks, republican voters.

You gave us 9-11, an unjustified war in Iraq, and $5 gas.

Of course, it's all Clinton's fault somehow or another in your twisted logic. How about stop listening to propaganda and think for yourself for a change? It's harder, especially at first, but I'm sure you can do it.

17. the GOP has failed

the GOP has created more terrorists than ever before. You would think with all the high tech, satellites, drones, fancy surveillance that Ubama Bin Ladin would have been found by now. Someone did say that UBL died afew years ago and the US hasn't told the voters.

19. Benzar Bhutto said OBL was dead in a TV interview

shortly thereafter she was assinated.

:woohoo:

20. Obama rebukes McCain camp on terrorism criticism

That is the title of the story at the link provided. Did they change the title? I don't recall
seeing the OP title anywhere in the news. Or did Obama really make this statement?
