John McCain says he knows how to get Osama Bin Laden.

ST. PAUL (Reuters) – Republican candidate John McCain said on Wednesday that if elected president, he will capture al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

“President Clinton had opportunities to get Osama bin Laden. President Bush had opportunities to get Osama bin Laden. I know how to do it and I’ll do it,” he told ABC’s “World News” in an interview.

So McCain has some secret plan to catch a dangerous terrorist who attacked the United States and killed thousands of Americans, but Sen. McCain (R-Crankypants) isn’t going to share unless we elect him president? I found this game annoying back in kindergarten, which is the last time I remember it being popular.
