Country First: Will John McCain ever share his secret plan to get Osama Bin Laden?
January 7, 2009 by William K. Wolfrum
Following on the heals of his inept run for the U.S. Presidency, John McCain has now started a new PAC, which he calls “Country First.” By “Country,” of course, McCain means “Republicans.”
Country First will serve as a powerful voice for the American people. It will allow us to get our Republican message out to the voters and elect a new generation of Republican leaders who can go to Statehouses and Congress to fight for all we believe in.
Now, after seeing McCain command what was likely the worst, most over-dramatic and outright stupid campaign in the modern political era, those who donate to “Country First” should not be surprised when they play the “fool” role in the saying “a fool and his money … .” But McCain could turn that all around if he shared some vital info – his ultra-secret, foolproof plan for capturing Osama Bin Laden. After all, McCain made it perfectly clear that he knew how to get the Al Qaeda mastermind:
“I’m not going to telegraph a lot of the things that I’m going to do because then it might compromise our ability to do so. But, look, I know the area, I have been there, I know wars, I know how to win wars, and I know how to improve our capabilities so that we will capture Osama bin Laden — or put it this way, bring him to justice…We will do it, I know how to do it.”
So while McCain’s plans of pushing some type of new Republican agenda may excite some, the whole “Country First” thing has a bit of a hollow ring to it if McCain doesn’t share his super-scheme to take down Bin Laden. Or, at very least, the hyper-honorable Senator from Arizona could admit that he was just lying.

John McCain was a POW.
Touche.
I’m pretty sure he’d already begun putting his plan into action.
Whilst most of the world was distracted by constantly checking their mailboxes to see if they had been invited to Bristol Palin’s baby shower, Levi Johnston was sent to the North Shore oil fields with secret instructions to tunnel to Russia (“It’s right over there, Levi — you can see it from yer mum-in-law’s house!”), carry a hand-written note to Putin requesting that he rear his head, fly over Middle-Eastern airspace, and using super-secret spy-satellite-like like technology that John McCain had surreptitiously integrated into the Blackberry he invented, pinpoint bin Laden’s exact location, at which point McMaverick himself would parachute behind enemy lines, take bin Laden into custody, and thus win the War on Terror — just as he had previously won the War in Vietnam, prevented the Savings & Loan scandal, and staved off the current economic collapse.
Or maybe he was lying about the whole thing.

His candidacy was shipwrecked before he started. The Republicans had to support the war in Iraq. If I were McCain, I would try to bring the focus back to Osama Bin Laden, and not to that failed war in Iraq.
[...] “But now is not the time for politics. It’s time to put country first, and John McCain is once again showing off his Maverickness by suspending his campaign and going to work with his fellow Republicans to try and block any and all liberal legislation,” Davis added. [...]
[...] Basically, it comes down to this – as jobs are being shed at a historic pace, the Republicans are pitching a tent. Country First, baby, Country First. [...]
[...] Still, I’d consider sending McCain a few bucks if he’d just share that inside knowledge of his on how to capture Osama bin Laden. Country First, John. Remember? Country First. [...]
