Take your pick. Remember when certain people brought up Obama endorsed by Hamas?



Irony.

Remember kids, only those who wish the US harm want to see Obama become President.

They will be in for a big surprise when they find out he is an American.

...it's so sad, funny and true...

It is what McCain would do. It's frighteningly logical...

Is that girl in your sig even legal? She looks...young.

Now that's funny...lol

She's just sitting on an air mattress in the water.
And yes, she's been legal for 5 years now.

Please note that the "Al Qaeda allies" are really just a couple of kids posting on a forum not that different from our very own TWC.

Hmm, so which candidate can we make look bad by endorsing him?

[Каие]

Is it me, or has everything backfired for the McCain-Palin campaign? They have lost all their sticks to beat Obama with, at least we won't be hearing much of ''Obuma iz trroriss''.... God is most certainly, not with them.

Shhhh...you'll spoil the surprise.

Will McCain accept the endorsement? :hmmm: lol

Actually this makes much sense. McCain is a war hawk and the AQ allies see this as a way to exploit it by wanting him to continue Bush's policy of taking the fight to the enemies' home turf. Osama did say that he rather fight us in the Mid-East rather than in America.

[Mikelus Trento]

Obama is more likely to improve relations with moderate Arab countries and perhaps more extreme ones, eg Syria. Any increase in prestige America might enjoy with countries there, upon an Obama victory, is disadvantageous for AQ.

imo.

Aq depends on a hawkish and intrusive foreign policy keep a steady flow of recruits. I have to say this news is deliciously ironic!

Yeah, I can't figure it out logically.

They must know Obama with a more moderate outlook is more likely to increase America's rapport with Middle Eastern countries, to their (AQ's)disadvantage.

They also must know that when they "endorse" someone, if someone was going to use that as their only voting criterion, Americans would vote the opposite way.

Makes no sense.

Erik's probably right, just 2 kids somewhere.

That has me scratching my head too.

[Mikelus Trento]

That has me scratching my head too.

If McCain would win, that would more likely improve their recruiting chances.
And also more likely to cause moderate nations to continue to move away from us. (imo) Obama, being more moderate, is more likely to defuse a little some of the fervent against America, and more likely to improve relations with Arab nations. (imo)

They have to know when they endorse McCain though, that is a hickey against him from Americans' point of view, thereby helping Obama, the one they really don't want to win.

I hope I made it clearer. I had to rethink it through myself. hehe

I remember Castro saying he didn't want to endorse a certain candidate (you can guess which one) because it would hurt their campaign.

Is this a clever Al-Qaeda tactic to hurt McCain's campaign? Don't you know Al-Qaeda follows what's happening in America to use for their propaganda, such as the financial crisis.

That's the dilemma Gauvin, why would they want to undermine McCain by endorsing him, when his victory would be better for them on many levels?

In a normal situation their endorsement would be who they think would help them, yes, but by endorsing McCain they are helping the people that matter, the voters, to want to elect Obama more.

Strange.

Nah, they genuinely want to continue killing Americans, Iraqis and Afghans under the guise of 'Jihad against the occupier', if Obama becomes President all that will end, leaving their mission in jeopardy. Plus Obama is popular all around the world, even amongst Arabs, which will raise Americas prestige and standing, and finally he plans negotiation with Iran and Syria etc. which is what not what AQ wants.

Lol, actually, a lot of Arabs don't like him after his Jerusalem remark, I remember posting some political cartoons from the Arab press fo Obama as basically a puppet of sinister looking Jews.

You forget all of this didn't start with the so-called occupation in Iraq, and Afghanistan, it's frankly retarded of any of you to believe they'll stop everything once those wars cease. They've had their hands in terrorist attacks in not only Iraq, and Afghanistan, but countries without any U.S. troop presence! You'd just be giving them more wiggle room to attack other countries, as well as planning elaborate attacks against the U.S. and UK, and etc. They have the will, and you'd give them the way.

Obama's plans will cause Al-Qaeda to gain much more prestige for having defeated a superpower, do you think those 100 000 000 radical Muslims won't be inspired by that? They believe in Jihad as a global struggle, not a regional one.

He since retracted it. Remember McCain also said Iran was training Al Qaeda, we all had a good laugh about that.

There is no doubt that they [AQ] are riding upon anti-American feeling, if America changed it's reputation worldwide and managed to gain favourable relations with Europe and the Muslims world, opinions will change. New strategies will be open, new methods, new insights.

That's a good sign. Let's see what else he retracts after he's elected.

Who was in the White House when Al-Qaeda first bombed the WTC? A Republican? Remind me, when Osama bin Laden declared war on the U.S. was there a Republican in the White House? The people that hate America aren't going to stop because of Obama, that's foolish.

And when the Iranians kidnapped american hostages in '81? There was a Republican in the White House? It was Jimmy Carter in the White House, the guy who kissed the Muslim and Arab world's ass, and still does.

Get real.
