al Qaeda for McSame?
by SoreLoser

Who would bin Laden want to be president? A smart, popular Liberal or a Conservative that was dedicated to continuing Bush's failed policies?

Obviously, it would want McVain elected.

What would be the purpose of any attempted manipulation of the U.S. election? It could just be to use the election to magnify the media coverage of their terrorist activities, make al Qaeda look even more capable than it is, and remind everyone they are still around. Such a media-amplified attack might help them with recruitment and fundraising. Even more likely is the possibility that al Qaeda would hope the attack would benefit John McCain. Opinion polls, which, as noted above, al Qaeda reads closely, suggest that an attack would help McCain. Polls in Europe and the Middle East also suggest an overwhelming popular support there for Barack Obama. Al Qaeda would not like it if there were a popular American president again.

bin Laden tried to influence the last election and didn't. Don't let him influence you on this one.

"The last election"? In 2006? He seems to have done a pretty good job in 2004. He got Bush reelected.

But, since he's on the same side as YOU, you will forgive him that.

Knowing that the republicans don't have the courage to go after him helped......instead attack someone who had nothing to do with the attack on the U.S. and let those responsible go free....after all the bin laudens and the bushes have been friends for a longggggggggggggtime
