Barracuda vs. bin Laden
I trust President John McCain will place Sarah Palin directly on the trail of Osama bin Laden. Someone who can actually get something done needs to take up the mission immediately.
America is tired of posturing and hand-wringing when it comes to this terrorist. Let Barack Obama and Vietnam-avoiding Joe Biden wallow in their hope to surrender in Iraq to this troglodyte from the eighth century. America would never surrender to the forces of evil as Obama recommended and supported so often.
Quite differently, Sarah Barracuda Palin will drop Osama bin Laden in an Alaskan heartbeat, if such a duty calls.

Bluster
American's go for the blustery talk because most see themselves in the same macho, toughman light. How else can you explain twice electing (well once anyway) a pair of chicken hawks over people who actually served in Vietnam?
John Wayne was an actor, but many people believe he really fought (and possibly won) WWII.
Nothing like talking a good game without backing it up.
Ben Laden shaking in his pants
We listened to the John Wayne talk of a phony Texan for years posturing about how he was going to ride in and get Bin Laden. We found out that he was not John Wayne at all, but just a rodeo clown with a big mouth.Now we have a geriatric grandpa living in the past, declaring from his rocking chair that he will follow bin Laden to the gates of hell.Sure! Now Gramps is hiding behind the skirts of Olive Oil the soccer mom that is suppose to chase down Osama Bin Ladin. Boy, do some of these guys live in a on going b-movie or what? By the way, I bet the poster had never heard of Sara Palin three days before the GOP convention and now ready to hire her as the new sheriff. What a joke.
Speak For Yourself Mr. Merrill
Here we go again! That is the fear of Americans, she and McCain just might behave too hasty as Bush did and go after the wrong people. So kill the Iraqs to get Aqaeda? How foolish. McCain is to busy hiding behind Palins skirt to do anything. Weak,weak,weak!
By the way why don't you volunteer to go? Your present president has been sitting on it for years. Obama has been preaching this for some time now because the republicans have not done a thing.
John McCain is nit picking because he has no real change to discuss. McCain has stolen Obama's campaign theme and actually think america believes his lies about change. Who is running for president any way her or McCain?
Since Palin has sex appeal and appears to have some knowledge with her BS degree, I know the propaganda about her would get a pass from most MEN and misinformed women. Sad that McCain has turned this campaign into sex appeal just to win. Who is putting country first now?
That woman is a snake in sheep skin using GOD to get what she wants(power).
Vietnam service dodgers
May I ask how many days George W. Bush spent serving in Vietnam?
Why wait?
Wow, then we should send her right away. How foolish of us to have wasted the resources of the best fighting force in the world when we could have saved both lives and money by sending a middle aged woman from Alaska to get Bin Laden.
