That is the crux of the issue. Everybody talks about us not doing the right thing and pulling out of this city or that city to soon, well here is where that argument grows legs. There are sound tactical reasons to sometimes pull back just short of anihlation in a battle, but when your enemy is on the ropes and talking peace deals, you cannot pull back. That is what OBL is praying for, he knows that Bush is not going to let up, and that everyday our troops are over there fighting, we grow stronger and he grows weaker, he loses support from teh people, and his financial backers everytime another group of his terrorists come across a marine or Cav company. HE also knows that should Kerry win, he will take any pisspoor excuse to withdraw and bring the troops home.

OBL no longer runs an organization that can strike whenever and wherever it chooses, his threats now ring as hollow as those of Bill Clinton in years gone by. So why is it we should choose to go back to the days of OBL being able to instill fear, while the US is a laughing stock? How would this be good for us? And if we do pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, how long will it be before OBL grows some fangs back?

Quoted: He's just trying to pull a school yard prank, you know the one where you are playing a game and the kid get's winded so he calls for a time-out, then after he catches his breath and you aren't looking he says time-in and steals the ball. Sorry Bin Laden but that's not going to happen.  Did you see the picture of Bush in college playing ball on the field?  They guy who tried to steal the ball got busted in the mouth by GW.  That's who you are playing with and there are no time-outs. politicalhumor.about.com/library/graphics/bush_yale_righthook.gif

Exactly, and Just remember Ketchup boy's sports pics, this is yet another game where he is a pretender, a girley man, playing a rough and tumble game with real consequences.

Quoted: That is an awsome pic i think what osama bin hiden is trying to say with our security being in our hands is that, in other words if GW gets reelected he will strike again.  That is the message i took from it. I'm ready as ever.

That is what he threatened, but the truth is his abiltity to operate worldwide is greatly diminished from what it was in 2001. His threats have become hollow, but not because he has mellowed, but because GWB has waged a war against him, the likes of wich he never even had nightmares about. If that war against him goes away, he will dissapear for a while to regroup and train a new cadre, and we will be right back to where we started in 2001.

Quoted: So GWB played rugby? We HAVE to vote for him now!!! I'd like to see a pic of kerry throwing a punch! Or rather, hitting someone with his purse.

I have seen a picture of him trying to catch a football, that is enough for me, he just doesn't have the scrot for the job. I'll bet the ketchup lady would look manlier than him catching the damn ball.

If the US acts like Sweden...

acts like sweden?!?!?!?!

no freakin' way!!!
