I wasn't under the impression that we had abandoned the search. I think the news media have simply stopped covering it. Some day an intelligence breakthrough will be made, and then the media will pick up the story again -- when there is some juicy stuff to report.

Michael Moore... does a good job a pointing out some things conservatives like to forget. Like that we let Osama escape.
I haven't seen MM's film, and I probably won't. (I certainly won't spend money to see it.) But I am interested in hearing what specific things we did (or did not do) that allowed OBL to escape. (And no fair using 20/20 hindsight. )

I don't like the original intent of this thread. Don't try to spin some statistical property to try to show one canidate is over the other.
Be careful when you start impugning other's intent. I believe Jack has stated his intent somewhere in this thread, and it wasn't to "spin" statistics to show that "one canidate is over the other".

Woah! Does that make sense? What right does an unborn child have if a woman has the unbridled right to kill her (unborn) baby at any time? (I know you gave reasons for your position. I just think you need to be more careful with your language.)

Because I want a change my only logical choice is Kerry.
I think this was the point of Jack's original post: that just electing someone who promises to "do just about everything differently" won't guarantee that things will get better.
