We know that election year rhetoric and promises are often over the top, but this from Harry Reid and the Democrats is breathtaking:
WASHINGTON - Congressional Democrats promise to "eliminate" Osama bin Laden and ensure a "responsible redeployment of U.S. forces" from Iraq in 2006 in an election-year national security policy statement.
Then, just when I thought that the Democrats might get my vote, I read this:
The [statement]...lacks specific details of how Democrats plan to capture bin Laden, the al-Qaida mastermind who has evaded U.S. forces in the more than four years since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Oh. Well, maybe they don't want to make the details public because they don't want Osama to know how he's going to get snagged.
Or maybe they just don't have any bloody idea how they're going to eliminate bin Laden, but they figure there are enough idiots out there who'll vote for them just because they promise that they will.
