Al-Qaeda Endorses McCain

Posted by | October 22, 2008 16:59 | Filed under: Top Stories


The Washington Post reports:


Al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming election,” said a commentary posted Monday on the extremist Web site al-Hesbah, which is closely linked to the terrorist group. It said the Arizona Republican would continue the “failing march of his predecessor,” President Bush.


So why would the terrorists prefer McCain? Quite simply, they think another Republican presidency would help their cause:


In language that was by turns mocking and ominous, the newest posting credited al-Qaeda with having lured Washington into a trap that had “exhausted its resources and bankrupted its economy.” It further suggested that a terrorist strike might swing the election to McCain and guarantee an expansion of U.S. military commitments in the Islamic world.

 

“It will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaeda,” said the posting, attributed to Muhammad Haafid, a longtime contributor to the password-protected site. “Al-Qaeda then will succeed in exhausting America.”


Can you imagine how the Right Wing would react if terrorists had said this about Obama instead of McCain?
