Take A Wild Freakin’ Guess Who Got The Coveted Al Qaeda Endorsement
Yep.
So it wasn’t exactly an endorsement, per se, butwhen you read the article you’ll see that it is very clear by Al Qaeda’s words that they want a Barack Obama Presidency.
And why wouldn’t they?
If your the neighborhood bully and the vacant house has two prospective new tenants, who do you want: The one who you know has kicked the crap out of bullies in the past, endorsed and backed the kicking the crap out of bullies in the past and in the future, and who talks about making sure the bullies don’t rule the block, by carrying a big stick?
Or…
Someone who says that he’d be happy to sit down with radical Jihadis without preconditions and talk with them. Someone who has said that he wants to reduce put the big stick i nthebasement and let the crack spiders use it for a web foundation, and someone who is sure that, because he was able to bullshit his way into the house, he’d foolishly believe that he’d be able to bullshit the bullies into just living in peace and harmony with the neighbors they’ve been hating since they moved into the neighborhood?
DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be “humiliated,” without endorsing a party in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to an Internet video posting.
“O God, humiliate Bush and his party, O Lord of the Worlds, degrade and defy him,” Abu Yahya al-Libi said at the end of sermon marking the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr, in a video posted on the Internet.
Libi, a top al Qaeda commander believed to be living in Afghanistan or Pakistan, called for God’s wrath to be brought against Bush equating him with past tyrants in history.
The remarks were the first from a leading al Qaeda figure referring, albeit indirectly, to the U.S. elections. Muslim clerics often end sermons by calling on God to guide and support Muslims and help defeat their enemies.
Terrorism monitor SITE Intelligence Group said in a report on Wednesday that militants on al Qaeda-linked websites have for months been debating the significance of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama or Republican John McCain.
Some posters have also argued over the merits of trying to attack the United States before the election or waiting until later, the report said.
But SITE said it did not expect al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden or deputy Ayman al-Zawahri to openly favor a candidate.
“To support a particular candidate would debase al-Qaeda’s long-standing argument that the United States government is a corrupt institution no matter who is at the helm,” SITE director Rita Katz said in the group’s November newsletter.
