It's Terra! Terra! Terra! Time With John W. McBush

So, according to this Daily Kos post, the Repug nominee for president has a “secret plan,” you might say, to capture Osama bin Forgotten?

Well, I would say that this is becoming a tired refrain at this point, seeing as how he uttered similar words here (in January of this year), here (in July), and here (last month). And gee (as Atrios has pointed out), wouldn’t it be a good idea to share this plan of his so we can do something about bin Laden RIGHT FREAKING NOW??!!

And it is made even more ridiculous when you consider that (according to here), McBush has opposed providing the necessary troop strength for Afghanistan, pursuant to a request from Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen; he also said on “Hannity and Colmes” that “no one in Afghanistan threatens the United States of America” in 2003, we may yet “muddle through” on Afghanistan also in 2003, said we “prevailed” there in 2004, and it was a “remarkable success” in 2005.

Further, according to this Think Progress post, McBush senior adviser Charlie Black told Fortune Magazine that “another terrorist attack” would be “a big advantage” to McBush’s campaign (and do you really have to ask whether or not Black was reprimanded for that?), and McBush has also claimed an advantage during other terrorist attacks, such as the murder of Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto (I can’t think of a word to describe how ghastly such a claim truly is).

And to top it all, I just visited the McBush “Country First” web site a minute ago, and under the list of issues, there’s not even a mention of Afghanistan.

Well, not to worry. I’m sure we could just go right ahead and launch an attack against Iran, since they’re no doubt training those Sunni insurgents, and that would cripple bin Laden to the point where it would be easier to apprehend him.

(Um, I’d better point out that that’s sarcasm – based on this “golden oldie,” I’m not sure McBush would know the difference.)
