Bush and McCain pledge to capture bin Laden, even following him to the gates of hell. That's all rhetoric. Instead of capturing bin Laden when he was cornered in Tora Bora, Bush called the troops to retreat and assign the unit to Iraq. Bush/Cheney want the oil of Iraq. Obama has said that his priority against terrorists is to capture bin Laden. He will do that by deploying more troops to Afghanistan and its border with Pakistan where bin Laden is hiding. One candidate is full of rhetoric and lies, the other has positively indicated what his plan will be should he become the POTUS.

I heard Obama say during one of the debates that if had "actionable intelligence", he would not hesitate to follow "Osama to the gates of hell" (to borrow a phrase). He will go and stike deep into Pakistan if needed. Did you hear otherwise? If so please post the youtube reference. All these debates are on Utube

<No, I think we need to fight them wherever they are. . I think we need to protect OUR country.... that TRILLION we spent so far could have protected ourselves here, our own boarders for decades. Why go looking for trouble? Those guys on 911 snuck in HERE and attacked us HERE! ,Obama seems to think we should:> Dude... he does not... read your post, that's NOT invading. Your whole post is not related to what I said. <Our biggest worry is they'll get ahold of weapons of mass destruction and use those. Even short of that, we should allow them to have no safe haven where they're free to bring in recruits and train them in large numbers - as they did in Afghanistan prior to 911.> Agreed... you know what a trillion dollars in high tech intelligence and quick Isreali type strikes and diplomacy to try and get our allies on board could yield?? You know how much money that is?? Secondly... are you aware what it takes for them to strike US?? They have no missiles or anything... we need intelligence... we need to have friends to build intelligenc networks. We DONT need to piss people off and start full scales wars. They've got it ALL wrong. We're like the British getting in line and marching forward while the Yanks hide behind walls and stuff.... stupid. DAK
