What idiots. From the BBC: (h/t Weasel Zippers)
Islamic terrorists want war. They want suffering - among others and their own people alike.
They would surely surmise that McCain will give them what they want. Bin Laden himself intervened with what many thought was the effect of keeping President Bush in power in 2004 with that weird tape just before the poll.
I think al-Qaeda would back McCain - that is not an argument for or against America backing him, but it seems to me that the vague assumption that the terrorists would back a lefty is lazy thinking..
The only lazy thinking is this idiocy. al-Qaeda wants total domination, they want their version of Islam all across the globe, and they found that having a Republican in office like Bush bit them on the ass….and hard. They are a shadow of their former self, those glory years being the 90’s when it just so happened a Democrat was in office.
But now, somehow, this bozo believes al-Qaeda wants an enemy that fights back rather then capitulate.
You just can’t make this stuff up….I mean really.
And you just know a post about idiots couldn’t be complete without a Hollywood idiot:
Sharon Stone believes the Sept. 11 attacks should not have been used as a pretext for the United States to launch wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to her comments published Monday in a pan-Arab newspaper.
In her interview with Al Hayat, the actress also bemoaned what she called Americans’ decision to ignore the deaths of so many Iraqis.
“I feel at great pain when the spotlight is on the death of 4,000 American soldiers, while 600,000 Iraqi deaths are ignored,” she said. “War is not a movie, it is a tragedy of dead bodies, victims, the disabled, orphans, widows and the displaced.”
McCain was one of the biggest cheerleaders for Kosovo’s independence, and the bombing of Serbs, so it stands to reason that Al-Qaeda would like him.
I call bullshit on this.
Not to mention McCain's love of open borders and coddling the foreign invaders we already have in our nation. Talk about setting up the perfect infiltration/invasion plan for al Qaeda.
Its from the BBC so it must be true. NOT
Sharon--what are your views about using Pearl Harbor as a pretext for declaring war against Japan?
Why does anyone even listen to these bimbos? Her major career move was to reveal, in gynecological detail, her feminine charms in Basic Instinct. And, charming as all that might be, it isn't exactly a qualification for determining American foreign policy.
Almost a year ago, in an unprecedented and strongly worded foray into US politics, Australia's Prime Minister John Howard said an Obama victory in the presidential election would be disastrous for the war on terrorism. John Howard went on to state that if Barack Obama wins "Al Qaeda will trumpet it as the greatest victory they've ever had, and that will have implications in our region because of the link between Al Qaeda and JI (Jemaah Islamiyah)."
continued...
“....and they found that having a Republican in office like Bush bit them on the ass….and hard.”
Absolutely.
And, from 9/01, NOT just since the surge. The US military has been thoroughly kicking al Qaeda’s ass with regularity all along.
But it needs to continue, perhaps for decades.
Vapid
When Bin Laden released that tape, he gave us an ultimatum that was rather pointed - vote for John Kerry, or else. Oh, he didn’t say the exact words, but he was gauging the resolve and fortitude of the American people and hoping it was weakening (which it is if we don’t wake up and smell the coffee).
al Qaeda has already picked Obama.
I can clearly see why Al Qaeda would like him.
“BBC: “al-Qaeda Would Back McCain””
I think al Qaeda and America haters everywhere, including cowardly, condescending EuroSocialists and the BritQueer media, would be happy with ANY of the three remaining viable candidates for the US presidency.
Don'cha just love the Beeb?
But it needs to continue, perhaps for decades.
If history is any gage, perhaps for one hundred years or longer.
The author is intellectually dishonest and he knows it. What he’s really saying is ‘vote liberal to end the illegal wars against muslims’.
And as for Sharon Stone... she’s still referring to the thoroughly discredited ‘600,000 dead’ figure that was published in the Lancet. She’s uninformed and, frankly, stupid.
But it needs to continue, perhaps for decades.
If history is any gage, perhaps for one hundred years or longer.
McCain will continue to take the war to the heart of Al-Quida country in the mid-east and they will continue to have to hide in holes in the ground and caves, in dread of any buzzing propellor sound for fear it may be the predator carrying the hellfire missile with their name on it.
Obama and Hillary will retreat from the area and ultimately Al-QUida will find safe havens and sanctuaries from which to plan and execute attacks directly against us.
Irrespective of his other failings, and they are many, McCain will not allow that to happen IMHO.
