Of course terrorists would rejoice at Obama win
World Net Daily ^ | March 11, 2008 | Aaron Klein

Was Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King on the mark last week when he asserted Islamic terrorists would rejoice if Sen. Barack Obama becomes the next U.S. president?

As a journalist and author who has conducted dozens of on-the-record interviews with Muslim terrorists, including with some of the most notorious Palestinian terror leaders, and who has documented many of those interviews in a recently released, 210-page book, "Schmoozing with Terrorists," I can answer the above question with a resounding "yes."

Terrorists worldwide would indeed be emboldened by an Obama election victory not so much because of the senator's middle name – Hussein – or because of his family background, but because terrorists know many of Obama's policies would translate into victory for the global jihad movement.

Obama has made clear he favors a swift American withdrawal from Iraq, direct dialogue with Iran – the largest state sponsor of terrorism – and a more "evenhanded" approach toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

What do the terrorists think about these policies? Well, I recently asked them:

Ramadan Adassi, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades terror group in the West Bank's Anskar refugee camp, pointed to Obama's rise to stardom as "an important success. He won popularity in spite of the Zionists and the conservatives."

Abu Hamed, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the northern Gaza Strip, explained the Democrat candidates' anti-war positions "prove that important leaders are understanding the situation differently and are understanding the price and the consequences of the American policy in Iraq and in the world."

Muhammad Saadi, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin, said talk of withdrawal from Iraq makes him feel "proud."

OPINION:

To be quite candid and generally speaking; our enemies would rejoice at any weak (or perceived to be weak) candidate being elected as the President of the United States of America.

Save with O'Reilly, who was full of PC last show/evening. . .did e-mail him and ask him why he thought this not credible given that such conjecture and conclusions had already been shared by more than a few Jihadists.

Think he needs some more 'mail' on the subject and I hope he gets it. Meantime,we cannot afford PC ignorance here. . .'too late smart' is just that.

While the terrorists would approve of the bitches policies they would hate the fact that the US has a female President.

No matter which candidate wins this election, we will have a weak president in the White House. Prepare for the worst.

Obama will sell the US and Israel to our enemies. He is a Trojan horse who will put us on our knees. For countries like Iran it’s a big victory if he will talk to them like he is planning.
