Security Moms: Remember that George Bush let Osama bin Laden get away

Security Moms, don't forget that George Bush was president when we chased after Osama bin Laden in Tora Bora. Bush likes to hide behind catchy phrases like "He can run, but he can't hide," even though the truth is Osama bin Laden did both. It's a funny and ironic twist that you would even consider George Bush the better man on terrorism. You wouldn't apply that same standard in your own town.

Letting a mass murderer escape...
Imagine if a mass murder had happened in your neighborhood. You and the police - everyone - knew who did it. The police even knew where the mass murderer was. But after a few weeks of chasing the mass murderer, the police decided to abandon their hunt and went to another city to chase after people for speeding violations. Meanwhile, they turned over the mass murderer search to local gangs.

Further imagine that after a while we didn't hear from the mass murderer. In fact, many people said he was dead. And your town's chief of police got on the air and said, "I don't know where he is... I, I repeat what I said I truly am not that concerned about him." (He was concerned about all murderers, he said.) Then two years went by.

...then saying you're tough on crime
All of a sudden, the mass murderer resurfaces. Sends out a chilling videotape threatening your neighborhood again. Would you really trust your chief of police when he said, "We have the mass murderer on the run"? Would you trust him to really get the bad guy? That's a choice you wouldn't make at home. And one you shouldn't make on Tuesday.
