Terrorist Yells Out "McCain" at al Qaeda Town Hall Meeting

Lately, al Qaeda's efforts to affect the American presidential election are backfiring with polls confirming Osama bin Laden is in trouble. But last night's speech by Bin Laden to followers at a cave in a mountain area of Afghanistan was interrupted by cries of "McCain" and "Elect him!" might just be the breaking point.

Bin Laden's efforts to paint Republican presidential nominee John McCain as a friend of unrepentant billionaires and an enemy of Islam and Allah are blowing up in his face.

"Instead of getting Islamo-fascists to work against McCain," said Al Jazeera reporter, Hyphen el-Hyphen, "terrorists see his election as one that would infuse the militant organization with fresh hatred of America that Barack Obama couldn't come close to doing."

"We found that Islamo-fascists are more interested in rejuvenating their constantly depleting suicide-bombers ranks than they are in actually hating Americans for their freedom," said Ali Bin Countin of the Karbul Terrorist Poll. "Al Qaeda's attempts to paint McCain as someone their fanatics should not want as a president of the western devils won't work in this partisan atmosphere. Remember, we're talking fanatics here, not hockey moms."

At one point during the meeting, Bin Laden had to take the microphone from one suicide bomber to defend his disdain for McCain.

"Sure, McCain is paling around with capitalists and I want to destroy the American dogs as much as you," declared Bin Laden, "but electing McCain is no way to get the fatwa we want."

In other bad news for the McCain/Palin ticket, for the next Philadelphia Eagles home game, Sarah Palin has been asked to handle the coin flip... by the visiting Atlanta Falcons.

I know its just satire but but that does not mean that it is not true.

Could you imagine what would have happened if the Bush Administration had kept their focus on El Quaeda instead of being distracted in Iraq. After a few years of hard fighting, El Quaeda would have been virtually eliminated and we would have been much better prepared to take on Saddam. But no Bush had to go chase Saddam before we were ready.

Given McCain wants to continue the focus on Iraq,it actually would not be surprising if the terrorists wanted McCain to win.

"Could you imagine what would have happened if the Bush Administration had kept their focus on El Quaeda instead of being distracted in Iraq" Agreed. Even more though why do we seem to give the Bush administration a pass for LETTING 9/11 HAPPEN?! I'm not a conspiracy advocate but there were clear signs that something was brewing. In August the CIA went directly to Bush to warn him and he dismissed them saying something like "you've covered your ass now" and went back on vacation. Rice was getting memos that said "Al Queda determined to strike in US" and she did NOTHING. After Pearl Harbor, FDR court martialled the general and admiral responsible for security at the port who had done such a terrible job. Bush not only didn't discipline anyone, he promoted them and gave them medals. To me this isn't a left or right issue, people on the right who tend to be most concerned about security should be up in arms about it.
