There is one key question that Democrats have allowed to go unasked in this campaign and yet it perhaps is the most important and potentially decisive one that can be asked...
Where is Osama Bin Laden? Why have we not caught the man that killed 3,000 Americans? He is the enemy, President Bush has failed in his most important task.
They don't ask this question because most Democrats believe that if Bin Laden is caught before November 2nd that it insures Bush's re-election. What I am proposing is that Kerry should trumpet this issue and assure that if Bin Laden is not caught before the election it guarantees a Kerry victory. He has nothing to lose!
I think Kerry should go on to say... 'George W. Bush has failed in the most important battle of our time, for three years he has failed to catch Osama Bin Laden the #1 enemy of the United States of America, Bush had him surrounded and he couldn't catch him... Bush had at his disposal the greatest military force the world has ever seen and he couldn't catch him... the American people were united in our support of capturing this madman and he couldn't catch him... Osama Bin Laden killed 3,000 of our fellow citizens and now George W. Bush doesn't even mention his name! '
{And because you can't disprove speculation (just ask Dick Cheney)...I think Kerry should go on to say...}
'If I had been President it would have been Osama Bin Laden we would have pulled out of a hole in the ground.'
September 11th approaches.. now is the time.
