Lest We Forget

After shifting priorities away from pursuing al Qaeda to start an unnecessary war against a country that wasn't involved in 9-11, Rethugs now want to, again, rewrite history to put themselves back in the picture of Obama's victory. After 2005, when the Bushit Assministration dismantled the bin Laden task force, the terrorist leader likely felt secure in his cushy safe haven in Pakistan.

For those with selective memories, here's an idea of where we'd be if Arizona Sen. John McNasty had been elected, courtesy Daily Kos:

In July 2008, CNN's Larry King interviewed then-presidential candidate John McCain. The host asked the Republican senator, "If you were president and knew that bin Laden was in Pakistan, you know where, would you have U.S. forces go in after him?" McCain said he would not.

"Larry, I'm not going to go there and here's why: because Pakistan is a sovereign nation."

Lest we forget.
