Al Qaeda Endorses McCain

Washington may occasionally have a hard time calculating its interests. Al Qaeda, on the other hand, tends to know what’s good for it.

Unsurprisingly, then, Pam Hess of The Associated Press reports that Al Qaeda’s clear choice is Sen. John McCain:

Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency.

The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, “impetuous” Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier,” the message said. “Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush.”

Interestingly, Al Qaeda doesn’t distinguish between “real” and “fake” Americas.

another media hype to entice voters to vote for their candidate- Obama, the chosen one. Why don't we just skip voting and let the media vote for us.

This is done in purpose by Al-qaida to mislead the public opinion and send more votes to Obana.
That's what they reall want, to have Obama on the White House.

One of the tactics employed in the Afghan – USSR war to draw theUSSR into a protracted war. This forced theUSSR to expend more needed resources than the Afghan fighters. If Al-Quaeda desires to have America weaken itself, over exteneding our resources is the method that will do it. It's baiting the opponent to chase it.

Are you serious? Al-qaida can continue to kill Americans in their country, with out the help of Obama. Since McCain supported the war, and does not care about the billions of our dollars spent on this war; yes they probably do want McCain in office so they can continue their efforts. Obama will pull troops out of Afganistan, which yeah……they probably want. Would you want someone that would continue to fight you for what reason again? in your own backyard. Obama is not their candidate, the media. All Obama needs to do to win is just let McCain and Palin speak. You ever heard the phrase your ignorance is only a thought until you open your mouth.

 When you hear the purase prom dress they often think of some tattered, cheap prom dresses fabric held together with safety pins promoted as a prom dress gown. But some of the best prom dresses available are those only a few years old, such as the 2011 prom dresses or 2012 prom dress styles.
