This is one of those easy to answer questions. It's even easier to ask.
This should be the first question any reporter asks anybody running for office.
Here is my question. Of course it's not "my" question, it's just one I believe should be the first question asked in any debate from here on.
Of course this question should go out to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, McCain, and Sarah Palin. You know I am dying to hear what Sarah Palin has to say, that would be the most interesting answer.
Why was the U.S. attacked on Sept. 11th ? And who do you think was behind it?
The president has the job of protecting the United States. What pissed them off in the first place?
What would anger someone so much, that they are willing to go through with killing themselves? What was the reason? Is that reason still festering? Have we done anything to address this ? Could we have made a mistake in evaluating our position? Is there anything we are doing that we might want to change?
What if the president to be is clueless? What if the Vice President has no real idea why we were attacked in the first place? What if ? What if they spew the usual "They hate us for our freedoms" crap? If so, we have a problem.
I have listened to both candidates, on this topic and one side nailed it. Both Obama and Biden were aware of what Osama Bin Laden mentioned in his letters, as to why he coordinated the attacks on the United States on Sept. 11th. He spelled it out.
What is just stunning is how few people know why we were attacked on Sept. 11th. First you have to at least believe it was possible for Osama Bin Laden was the one behind these attacks, and then you only need to read what he wrote for what he believed was the reason.
Hey, John McCain, Why were we attacked on Sept. 11th, and who do you think was behind it?
My follow up question for today to McCain and Sarah Palin, How did you feel when President Bush was asked about catching Osama Bin Laden, and his answer was "Oh, I don't think about him that much any more"
Is that how President Bush still feels about Osama Bin Laden today?
Obama/Biden 08 Deal with it.
