William K. Wolfrum Chronicles

John McCain has made it a talking point that Al Qaeda has said Iraq is the central battleground in the fight against terrorism and terrorist organizations are always straightforward and upfront when they make assessments.

“For the first time I have seen Osama bin Laden and General Petraeus in agreement, and that is, the central battleground in the battle against al Qaeda is in Iraq today. And that’s what bin Laden is saying and that’s what General Petraeus is saying and that’s what I’m saying.”

So, one wonders if McCain will soon promote the fact that, Al Qaeda supporters have endorsed him for President.

Really:

WASHINGTON – 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.”

One of the reasons that Al Qaeda supports McCain is that - seven years after the 9/11 attack - McCain has admitted to knowing how to capture bin Laden, but that he isn’t telling anyone how to do it. They really must appreciate that.

Now, I wonder if McCain will hit them with that zippy “I’m not George W. Bush” line. That’d show them.
