23 Oct 08 Al-Qaeda Likes McCain

Yes indeed, al-Qaeda knows a good thing when they see it. Bush’s war in Iraq has given them an army of new recruits, and they know that John McCain will keep our troops there and give them plenty more. And then there’s the financial cost of the war, which is enormous.

Al-Qaeda prefers an indefinite U.S. occupation of Iraq and a bellicose U.S. all across the Muslim world in order to radicalize Muslims to its terrorist cause and drain the U.S. of its financial wealth — what Osama bin Laden calls his “bleed to bankruptcy” strategy.
