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,

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.

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.
