Well of course. Because Bin Laden knows that 100 more years of war in the middle east and in particular Iraq and Afghanistan will do wonders for Al-Quaeda recruitment. Just as the last seven years of war have led to a heavy increase in recruitment for Al-Quaeda in Iraq which didn't exist prior to the invasion.

Have none of you heard of reverse psychology ??? of course the terrorists are going to endorse the stronger candidate. So you will vote for the candidate with no experience and bad judgement...OBAMA. The terrorists in no way shape or form want Mccain as our next president.

The terrorists are not rich and powerful, like us. They try to get as much mileage as they can from a few dramatic acts of terror (that's what terrorism is). The reason there has not been "another 911" is we are doing a good job, all by ourselves, of extending the "mileage" from the first one. With McCain, they can keep us bleeding. You can bet they will be there to "challenge us" again if we elect Obama and stem the bleeding!

Which of them ever imagined they would be elevated to the number-one feared enemy of the world's greatest military power? How can a handful of terrorists do so much damage to us, at so little cost to themselves? I guess thay know how to draw us in, eh? By creating a trillion dollar war against them, we have inflated their importance and amplified their effect.

Have you heard of spin;. When the terrorist say they want Obama it's true but when the terrorist say they want McCain they really want Obama. Can't have it both ways buster.

It's a know fact that the Iraq War is the best thing that Al Qaeda has going for them. Recruiting is good and money donation is good as long as the soldiers are fighting in Iraq so naturally they want McCain as president because he will keep the war going so they can keep recruiting more members. I can just hear the McCain camp shouting with joy if the Al Qaeda said that they wanted Obama as president.

Well, in fairness to McCain, the endorsement came from a blogger on a Jihadist website, not from Al Qaeda and certainly not from bin Laden.
That said, it is clear a McCain victory would benefit bin Laden enormously., The writer's premise, that McCain would continue the occupation of Muslim Iraq and that his economic policies would further stretch the US deficit, are all spot on. Then there's McCain happily preverting the Beach Boys' Barbara Ann with the words, "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran." McCain clearly has in mind expanding our war to Iran or having Israel do it for us with a bombing run. That would bring 350,000 well armed and trained Iranian soldiers into Iraq to kill Americans. What a boon to Al Qaeda.-

Well in all fairness, if this story would have broke that Al-Qaeda supported Obama, FoxNews, Newsmax, the New York Post, and numerous blog sites,
Reply
and the McCain campaign would have gone for the jugular. You and everyone else that reads or watches the news should be well aware of this. That being said, I think the statement coming from a blogger on an Al-Qaeda web site expresses the sentiments of the group. It not coming from Al-Qaeda or Bin Laden himself is of no real consequence. -

I don't believe the left wing claim that McCain would bomb Iran or send ground troops there. If Iran sent 350,000 soldiers to Iraq, they would pay big time by our retaliatory leveling of Tehran, their oil fields, their industry and infrastructure, which is what we did to Germany in WWII. The right strategy would be to withdraw all our troops if Iran sent 350,000 troops to Iraq and let them try to fend for themselves without supply lines or a home to go back to. By developing nukes they also open themselves to nuclear strikes on themselves by the U.S., Israel or France (not necessarily McCain's strategy).

McCain has always had a mercurial personality and he is showing more and more senior moments these days. I don't say this out of ageism. I am almost McCain's age. I question his judgment, not his age.
Reply
McCain showed himself to be unstable, lurching multiple times from one position to the exact opposite in less than 24 hours when the economic crisis unfolded. So it's certainly possible that he would say something then do the opposite. But he definitely did say he wanted to bomb Iran. He made a joke of it.
The reason we need to talk to Iran without preconditions is we need to explain to the Ayatollah who is really in charge there that he and all he holds dear will be gone in a nuclear flash if he develops nuclear weapons. No preconditions are need to have this discussion.
Oh, and for those like Sarah Palin who are confused about what "preconditions" means, it doesn't mean lack of diplomatic preparation for a meeting between heads of states. It means "A condition that must exist or be established before something can occur or be considered; a prerequisite." http://www.answers.com/precondition
Like insisting that Iran cease enriching uranium before we will talk to them about why they shouldn't be enriching uranium.

Of course Al Queda endorsed McCain, just like they endorsed Bush before him.
Reply
Al Queda never had the capability to wage war against America, they knew this. OBL even stated this in videos as early as the 1980`s. OBL shared his goal of dragging America into quagmires in three countries; Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran.
AQ knew it could never defeat us militarily, and they could never wage war against us in America. However, they intended to lure a completely ignorant, arrogant, and belligerent US president into invading a muslim country, thereby creating a guerilla army that could drain US resources and make us go bankrupt. That was the plan from the 1980s.
Only they had no chance of implementing that plan until America `elected` some president ignorant and immoral enough to fall for the trap.
It also took a great deal of luck to get a president so stupid he would ignore the 9/11 dire warnings from inside and outside the USA. George W Bush was the terrorists` wet dream, and McCain is Bush III.
Of course they want belligerent ignorance and arrogance in the WH. It suits their anti-American agenda perfectly. -

The USA's enemies are drooling at the thought of Obama. They love the naive inexperience weak amateur. Where there have been young leaders in the past, they had over a decade of (real)experience, yet we paid a price for it. When John Kennedy(who had over a decade of rel experience both military and political) took over from Eisenhower, the Russians built the Berlin Wall, the Bay of Pigs attack failed, the Russians sent missiles to Cuba, and Kennedy put troops in Viet Nam. This is what our enemies do when they see an amateur take over the White House. Joe Biden warned us that Obama will be "tested". I dread the next attack.

The troops were in Nam in the fifties, per Ike., Kennedy ramped it up.
The Berlin wall was built to keep the Soviet citizens from flooding into West Germany.

No, he cut a deal to facilitate an agreement with a much older Politician who knew the futility of the situation. Read you history past the headlines. See Turkish missile removal. Know the whole story, not the hype.

Oh btw, Joe Biden was telling us the Obama will show a spine of steel in the face of a manufactured crisis.
If al Queda really wants McCain to win they will try and mount an attack before the election.
Yes. Keep America free, stop the unwanted, unwarrented interventionism.

Beau - "Osama bin-Laden has endorsed John McCain for president."
Reply
That is such a lie. Nowhere did I see in the article such a statement. In fact they made it clear bin-Laden has not endorsed either candidate and hasn't even made any statements since last spring. Maybe if you repeat your lie enough it will become truth to the liberal bloggers.
if Al Qaeda or bin-Laden do support McCain because they think he will continue war in the mideast, then what does that say about them?-

I'm not familiar with tiredofwhiners, I'm pretty sure you're a McCain supporter. Lord knows I've been in many debates with McCain supports over the past few months, even my own mother.
Reply
But you are right, bin Laden himself made no endorsement. I do think that McCain's agenda of continuing war in Iraq will fuel more resentment against the United States, though if an agreement isn't reached by the new year between Iraq and the U.S., we'll be forced out anyway.
Personally, I believe a deal will be reached. We should still have a plan to get out sometime soon. -

Al Qaeda will be happy with McCain because he wanted a 100 year war and that will certainly bolster Al Qaeda.What Al Qaeda wants is the demise of America and they know war of attrition will finish America within a short period of time, now they see that is happening in front of their eyes.
