President Vladimir Putin on Monday made his strongest endorsement yet for his friend U.S. President George W. Bush, saying "international terrorism" will claim victory over the international antiterrorism coalition if Bush loses. "I believe that the activities of terrorists in Iraq are not as much aimed at the coalition as at President Bush personally," Putin said. "The goal of international terrorism is to prevent the election of President Bush to a second term." "If they achieve that goal, then they will of course celebrate it as a victory ... over America and, to a certain extent, over the forces of...

"Russian President Vladimir Putin says terrorist attacks in Iraq are aimed at preventing the re-election of U.S. President George W. Bush and that a Bush defeat 'could lead to the spread of terrorism to other parts of the world,' " CNN reports: "International terrorists have set as their goal inflicting the maximum damage to Bush, to prevent his election to a second term. "If they succeed in doing that, they will celebrate a victory over America and over the entire anti-terror coalition," Putin said. "In that case, this would give an additional impulse to international terrorists and to their activities,...

Read a newspaper, watch television, or listen to the radio this fall, and the story from Iraq is the violence sweeping the country. Insurgents have stepped up their attacks, you'll hear. More and more U.S. service members are being killed and wounded every month. The international media is fleeing, and those willing to stay behind rarely venture out from their shelter in the Palestine Hotel. But even as these reports about the violence grow ever more strident, what's missing is any discussion about why attacks are increasing. The "why" is obvious to those of us over here facing the danger...

U.S President George Bush and his Democratic challenger, Senator John Kerry will face off in their second election debate tomorrow night. But for Salim Mansur the first debate last week was enough. He's a columnist and a political scientist at the University of Western Ontario in London. On Commentary, he says a Kerry election win would spell victory for terror. Real Audio link: Salim Mansur Audio Transcript Salim Mansur: Once we get past style and engage in content analysis of last Thursday's presidential debate between George Bush and John Kerry, it becomes clear Americans will be voting on distinct alternatives...

Cockroaches Oct. 8, 2004 THEY WANT TO TAKE BUSH DOWN M. Zuhdi Jasser Phoenix physician Yesterday's tragic bombings and murders in the Sinai demand that we more closely reflect upon the warped motivations of our enemies especially as we enter our elections. An Egyptian hotel is an unfortunately obvious target. Many analysts have cited the primary short-term goal of al-Qaida being the removal of the American and western presence from Iraq. Many correctly note that the removal of Saddam and the installation of democracy in Iraq and possibly in the greater Middle East brings with it an antidote to the...

Do the bad guys -- the terrorists in their Afghan caves and Iraqi redoubts -- want George Bush defeated in this election? Bush critics, among them the editors of the New York Times, have worked themselves into a lather over the mere suggestion that this might be so. A front-page "analysis" in The Post quoted several Republican variations of this theme -- such as Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage saying that the terrorists in Iraq "are trying to influence the election against President Bush" -- then noted that "[s]uch accusations . . . surfaced in the modern era during...

2004-10-01) -- In a tape aired on Al-Jazeera TV, Usama bin Laden's top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, thanked Democrat presidential candidate John Forbes Kerry for the "great ideas he shared during last night's debate." On the tape, still under analysis by the CIA, Mr. al-Zawahiri notes that Mr. Kerry's debate remarks were a "terrific brainstorming session for our associates who seek targets of opportunity to advance the cause of our peaceful religion." Mr. Zawahiri said he appreciated the "virtual invitation" implied in the following statements by Mr. Kerry: -- "The president hasn't put one nickel - not one nickel - into...

In light of John Kerry's puzzling insistence on a go-it-alone approach to North Korea in Thursday night's debate, I thought I'd make a little list. Admittedly, I'm doing much of this from memory, but there seems to be a certain consistency . . . 1. The North Vietnamese, during the Vietnam War, compared Ho Chi Minh to George Washington, argued that their war was one of national liberation, accused US troops of regularly committing war crimes and atrocities, called on Nixon to end the war immediately, argued that the people of South Vietnam would be happy to accept communism, and...

This has to be one of the first ever presidential debates that distinctly showed the difference between liberal socialist international and domestic policy versus that of conservative constitutional republican policy. I think it became clearer that after 8 years of swatting at flies, it was the policy of this administration to run the ball up the gut of the radical Islamic world, put it on their end of the field and finally show that we are not going to tolerate their fear, hate and killing. We now sit in their own back yard, and even after we leave, Iraq is...

The insurgents in Iraq have increased their activity to influence the US Presidential election. The terrorists in Iraq have spoken, and they prefer Kerry. His flip flopping on Iraq policy, his promise to cut and run by removing as many troops as possible in his first year in office has got them super motivated. Yes indeed, they are motivated, motivated to go KILL, kill American soldiers, kill Iraqis and kill foreignors trying to help rebuild that country. Yes siree, once again Kerry is getting serviceman killed in another US war by flapping his yap. It's a shame more Americans can't...

The biggest unknown factor in the presidential campaign is whether there will be a major domestic terrorist incident before Election Day. The key question is not just whether al-Qaeda will seek to influence U.S. voting, as it did in Spain last March by detonating 10 bombs on three crowded Madrid commuter trains and killing almost 200 people a few days before national elections. It is al-Qaeda's mind-set: Do its leaders see their task as easier with President Bush or John Kerry in the White House? Or, from its warped perspective, is there no difference between the two men? If al-Qaeda...

Kerry sets the record straight Charles A. Beers JohnKerry.com, September 23, 2004 The war in Iraq is President Bush's signature failure. To reduce the damage the war has caused him, Bush and his campaign operatives have spent the last six months attacking and distorting John Kerry's position on Iraq and military service. But yesterday, in a powerful speech in New York, Kerry set the record straight. John Kerry laid out a plan to end Bush's irrational, deceptive and unilateral policy in Iraq, and pursue a policy of international cooperation to end the worsening rebellion and rebuild Iraq -- and bring...

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage alleged Friday that insurgents have stepped up their deadly assaults in Iraq because they want to "influence the election against President Bush," a statement that drew a sharp condemnation from the campaign of Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry. It is apparently the first time that a Bush administration official has linked the escalating violence in Iraq to an effort by insurgents to help defeat Bush in November. More than 200 Iraqis have died since last weekend, and American troops also have been dying at a greater rate this month than...

US President George W. Bush's campaign chief has accused Democratic White House challenger John Kerry of playing into terrorists' hands by being pessimistic on Iraq. "John Kerry's pessimism, shifting positions and lack of resolve will not win the fight against the terrorists. His campaign has demonstrated again that it has nothing to offer but attacks on the president's agenda for creating a safer world," Ken Mehlman said in a statement out Saturday. "On the eve of (Iraqi) Prime Minister (Iyad) Allawi's visit to the United States, John Kerry's military adviser is preaching defeat and suggesting retreat in Iraq. Such a...

The excitement is palpable. You can almost feel it in the air. The dictators of the Arab world just can’t wait for George W. Bush to lose the US presidential election in November. Gripped with fear as they watch Bush’s democratic experiment in Iraq take shape, the tyrants and despots of the Middle East are pinning their hopes on Democratic challenger John Kerry to prevail. After all, the last thing they want to see is a second-term Bush determined to reform the region, a development that would threaten their grip on power and stymie their efforts to obtain more lethal...

We've all seen the silly dims who protest at Bush speaking engagements. Some dims dress in pinstriped suits and cocktail dresses and sip from plastic wine glasses to try to portray the Republican party as rich fat cats. Has anyone ever see Protest Warriors or similar groups dress as Mullahs with "Mullahs for Kerry" signs at a sKerry/leftwards event? Maybe wear some (not TOO realistic) bomb belts and a toy Kalishnakov rifle. That could be pretty amusing.
