Al-Qaeda Endorses McCain

Fresh off the heels of Colin Powell's ringing endorsement of Barack Obama comes this interesting little tidbit of information:

Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency.

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."

Now, we really don't care what Al-Qaeda thinks and I'm taking this news with a grain of salt because had it been the other way around, I'd probably feel the same way and I'm really trying to be objective, but isn't it obvious that if we keep depleting our resources (military, treasury, our economy in the tank) that a continuaiton of the war, which is what a McCain presidency would bring us, would have the effect that Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden wanted in the first place? Isn't that why they targeted the WORLD TRADE Center? Hit them in the pocketbook is always a knock out blow.

I'm guessing the McCain campaign will try to spin this as a scare tactic by the "liberal" media who is obviously in the tank for Obama, or just blame the Obama campaign - they blame everything else on them so I'm not expecting anything different - but we'll find out soon enough.
