John McCain has been making a lot of outrageous claims lately, but when he said he knew how to capture Osama bin Laden, that really pissed me off. Then what's stopping you big guy? Or are you holding the country hostage by not letting us know unless we elect you president?
If you don't believe he could say something that outrageous or stupid, watch below:
One of our viewers, Mike Neva, made a very good point. McCain has accused Obama of putting politics above winning the war in Iraq. If John McCain really knows how to capture Osama bin Laden and won't tell the US government unless he is elected, isn't he putting politics above winning the war on terror?

1. Cenk,
You're making the assumption that George Bush would listen to McCain. If there is one thing I've learn to understand about the Bush men, it's that they make a plan, and they work the plan. They don't change the plan, and they don't listen to the advice of others about making, executing, and chaning the plan.
As for Obama, remember that he is taking his marching orders from Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago. If you believe John Kass in the Chicago Tribune, and I do, then Obama got down on one knee, swore loyalty to Richard Shortshanks (Kass' nickname for Richie Daley), and begged to become a Senator.
Now, Obama has Richard Shortshanks' advisors, including David Axlerod, helping him become President.
If you think the Republicans are crooks, way until Washington becomes Chicago East (East Chicago was already taken by East Chicago, IN), where getting a federal contract will mean campaign contibutions, and white men will pose as women, blacks, and Hispanics, to get minortiy contracts. That's how it works in Chicago and will work in Washington during an Obama Adminstration.

2. Hey, Stench, John is talking about when he gets to be president of this nation.
--------------------------------------------------
Change you can believe-
Osama bin Obama announced today that if he is elected he plans to change the national symbol to the Condom. He says this will more accurately reflect his administration's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks and gives taxpayers a sense of security while they are actually getting screwed. ------
Remember, an American voting for Osama bin Obama is like an Israeli voting for Al Qaeda.

3. Cenk,
I've got a plan to resolve the energy crisis. It's called the "FRED" plan. Future Resources Energy Development plan. I won't let it out the bag until I speak to the right people.
Osama is under a rock at the moment in hiding. Perhaps McCain is waiting until he can talk to the right people under his own terms to put the plan in action as commander in chief.
Better yet, he should give you all the details so you can alert the terrorists.
If he did trap OBL, the question is, would you report it & give him credit?
It would make another great blog title under your heading...

4. Not that I care for either candidate, or as a resident of Illinois the joke we have for governor, who might be more crooked than the Chicago machine or any other politician in history for thta matter. If McCain does know how, I would think he would get the job done before the election. He would turn the tide and be the next crooked pres of the USA

5. Reports are starting to surface and should be widespread very soon.
McCain is secretly a Vietnamese Terrorist. He never was a POW. It
started out that way until they brainwashed him and educated him on
their extreme ideology.
The plan was for him to work his way up in the US Government and
eventually become President to execute the original plan.
It was very rough at first, because he wasn't retaining the
information very well. It was an established fact, that he was
mildly retarded which is backed by all of substandard grades in all
levels of education and the military.
This is why he was in Vietnam so long, because it took a while for
him to get it.
Be Afraid. Be VERY afraid!!!
Now, how foolish does this sound?
Now you get a good glimpse of how stupid you assholes sound writing
your Obama muslim bullshit.
Robert Not Okane or Terry, you have so many names, is going to come
back and say that once you're born a muslim, you're always a muslim.
Fine be that way. Once a POW in Vietnam, always a brainwashed
Vietnamese informant.

6. hey cenk why aren't people like the late Great Cristopher Reeve walking yet? Can you e-mail edwards or kerry for that answer?

7. If McCain is concealing vital information in the War on Terror as to how to capture the architect of 911, then perhaps he should be remanded to Gitmo and waterboarded until he, er, "coughs" it up.
