John McCain, the other night on the Daily Show, said "a spokesperson from Hamas said they wanted Sen. Obama," for President. That's just ridiculous. That's as bad -- and as false -- as Republican claims that al-Qaeda supported John Kerry in 2004.
We all should know by now that al-Qaeda and Iran both publicly stated support for George W. Bush's reelection. And why not, as a recent National Intelligence Estimate revealed, George Bush did more for al-Qaeda than anybody else.
If anything, al-Qaeda is going to support John McCain. I'm sure they relish the thought of a one hundred year US occupation of a Muslim country. Nothing will galvanize al-Qaeda more than that. For John McCain to say terrorists are supporting Obama, he must be losing what's left of his mind. As the Iranian Security Council chief said of the 2004 election, "We haven't seen anything good from Democrats."
Hey AP, I believe that the correct terminology is "lost his bearings". I
laughed out loud when I heard Obama say that. Fantastic way of bringing up
the age issue while maintaining plausible deniability. Sorry that your
girl Hillary appears to have lost the nomination. Me, I like the dream of
Obama but I'm terrified the GOP slime machine will find a way to cripple
him. With Hillary, you knew she was never going to allow them to get away
with anything. I loved that she not only knew how to but seemed to relish
fighting dirty and I wouldn't have minded her going up against St. McCain.
Yeah, I thought I'd be a little more blunt with 'losing his mind'. I am
bummed about Hillary not being the nominee, but I'm used to it. I supported
Wes Clark in 2004.
