Someone is making a faulty hypothesis at the BBC
“Islamic terrorists want war. They want suffering – among others and their own people alike.
They would surely surmise that McCain will give them what they want. Bin Laden himself intervened with what many thought was the effect of keeping President Bush in power in 2004 with that weird tape just before the poll.
I think al-Qaeda would back McCain – that is not an argument for or against America backing him, but it seems to me that the vague assumption that the terrorists would back a lefty is lazy thinking…”
Au contraire, Rabbit! Islamics do not want war or suffering: they want submission. Submission to the will of Allah. Submission to the extremist view of Islam. You can be one of them, be a dhimmi, or die. It is really that simple. War is not their goal. Control of the world is. Those on the left just do not seem to get that.
An Obama, or Clinton, presidency would bring the only remaining superpower back to a “it’s solely a law enforcement issue, so, let’s kneecap the intelligence agencies and military” position, whereby any fight is brought to our shores, and they can spread at will around the world. They do not want someone like John McCain fighting them and killing them. They want to be the ones who are doing the killing, without getting, for the most part, killed themselves.
Mark at USS Neverdock says the author is a moron.
Dr. Sanity says even Al Qaeda is as stupid and clueless as the political left.
Pirate of patriotism Blackbeard is right man. It’s like the explosive madmen of arabia types declared holy war on us and our Harley hogs and hogettes… And these sand doomed suckers wanna blow you up, us up, themselves up and establish their wacked out freaky islamo caliphate from the days of the Moors in Spain? And when they don’t get us to submit…kaboomy and they get poontang from 72 virgins in their eternal harem casbah? ‘Step On Em Wolf’ pirate nation…. Make that right turn at the left intersection and forward ride!
Who is afraid of the big bad muslims ? Not me !
