    McCain's 'plan" to follow Binny to the "gates of hell"

    Aside from the fact that Bin Laden is dead...

    McCain's 'plan' is as follows: bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, bomb Pakistan, bomb Syria. It's a good plan too, if he kills enough people, one of them is almost certainly going to be Bin Laden.

    He is correct though, his plan will indeed lead America to the gates of Hell.

    Sounds serious to me.

    "And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country. I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban.

    But once we set out the policy and started executing the plan, he became -- we shoved him out more and more on the margins. He has no place to train his al Qaeda killers anymore. And if we -- excuse me for a minute -- and if we find a training camp, we'll take care of it. Either we will or our friends will."
