Remember when John Kerry said how to get bin Laden?

[ThomWV]

John Kerry, in the lead up to the '04 election, said the way to get bin Laden was to use intelligence to find him and a small elite force to go after him. He was ridiculed for it as we began a succession of incursions and occupations. And now look how it has ended - exactly as Senator Kerry suggested.

1. Kerry = military hero

bush and co.= frauds. 'nuff said.

[CTyankee]

2. I most certainly DO! I was thinking about Kerry's statements while watching the news this morning.

I remember the repuke ridicule very well.

Well, this just shows that they were full of it!

[Scuba]

3. As one who had personally been on small raids, Kerry knew how effective they could be...

...and as one who served in a giant military machine he understood how ineffective it could be.

4. You can't swat a fly with a sledgehammer

However, that's been our exact strategy all along.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Absolutely right.

Sen. Kerry knew what he was talking about.

[ThomWV]

6. I just wanted to put this back up as a reminder to the Afternoon crowd.

Sometimes our memories are too short.

[seabeyond]

7. yes. every dem has handle terrorists in this manner and has been successful. bushco called it

swatting at flies with flyswatter and wanted to use a hammer.

11. Kick

For President Obama, Vice President Biden, Senator Kerry, Gore, and anyone else left out (no slight :)). :kick: :patriot:

[quinnox]

12. Our loss we didn't elect him

Things would look far different today, far different and better.

[EFerrari]

16. Ohio. n/t

[politicasista]

18. People were too busy dissing him

waiting for the second coming Democratic savior (i.e. B. Cinton, Obama no diss here), instead dismissing him as another "northeastern liberal" who did not "get" it or "get" them, and refusing to listen to what he says or said.

[seabeyond]

25. such a loss. i still feel it all these years later. nt

[JuniperLea]

13. My very first thought was about Kerry and these statements...

He was right then, proved right now, but still won't get any credit except for what those of us with a funcitioning memory will say.

Good to see this truth here!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. +100

Exactly right

[treestar]

14. Kerry was right

This also reminds me of how McCain said he "knew" how to get bin Laden. Maybe Gramps finally decided to reveal his excellent knowledge? :rofl:

[Gabi Hayes]

15. I thought he said to look in the WH basement

[Solomon]

17. Kerry wouldn't have gone into Pakistan to do it though.

[Incitatus]

20. You sure about that?

If the CIA had come to him and said they knew exactly where he was? I think he would have.

[blondeatlast]

22. Absolutely. nt

[Incitatus]

29. So you think Kerry was lying when he said that he would?

[politicasista]

30. delete n/t

[seabeyond]

26. you are wrong. nt

[politicasista]

27. +1 *crickets* n/t

[wildeyed]

19. I have been thinking about that too. n/t

[babylonsister]

23. Rec'd. And not this same senator wants to get with the business

of getting out of Afghanistan. I so respect this man.

[politicasista]

24. +1

:hi:

[TorchTheWitch]

28. Kerry stating the obvious - a shame it needed to be said at all

How else to you catch a criminal? Not even Freepers believed war was how to catch bin Laden. They just wanted the wars on as punishment for... something. And the ridiculous belief that war brings prosperity and cheap gas for the car.
