Why does al-qaida want...?

...john mccain for president?

the associated press reports:

"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.""

    Very Funny its the same question i posted earlier

    yea not too sure about that report but its obvious that the Bush administration has inadvertently made al Qaida a lot more powerful from invading Iraq. Osama himself said that he liked the fact that US soldiers where in iraq because it made it easier to kill Americans and he predicted the economic collapse by saying that america would eventually bleed itself dry financially fighting the "war on terror".

    Al Qaeda is in it for the long haul. They expect to be killing non-believers for the next 500 years or so. Their goal is world domination and the only people who should be allowed to live are those who pray to Allah. They feel there is nothing wrong with killing hundreds of millions of non-believers if it advances the cause of their faith. They do not want to sit down and discuss it, negotiate or reason with us. They want to cut our heads off. They also have an unrealistic view of their success so far in Iraq. Since they sit around in the dirt and eat goats and get aroused if they see a woman's wrist, they have no idea of the economic strength of America, and they think we are on the verge of becoming a stone-age economy, like they are.

    So the morons vote Obama.

    It's Reverse Psychology 101. They know how delusional people can be.

    Why does the Radical Kenyan leader want Obama?? ....oh, because he is Barry's cousin, and gets lots of money from him. Raila Odinga.
