Only John McCain Knows How to Get Osama

By Eric on January 29, 2008

We know that the capture of Osama bin Laden is no longer a concern of the Bush Administration, but that doesn’t mean that the presidential candidates can’t use bin Laden for political gain. In particular, John McCain likes to mention in almost every single speech he gives that he’s going to “get” bin Laden if it’s the last thing he does.

Apparently, this isn’t just talk. John McCain actually knows exactly what needs to be done to capture Osama bin Laden. What does McCain know? Well, he’s not telling.

“One thing I will not do is telegraph my punches. Osama bin Laden will be the last to know,” he said today while riding on the back of his bus between Florida events. In other words: he’s not telling. Why not share his strategy with the current occupant of the White House? “Because I have my own ideas and it would require implementation of certain policies and procedures that only as the president of the United States can be taken.”

So he knows what needs to be done, he knows that the president can do it… but he’s not going to call his buddy George Bush and share what he knows? For John McCain, I guess it is more important to let Osama bin Laden run free for another year so that McCain can use him for political leverage. Maybe in return he’ll get a job in the McCain administration?
