Muslim American To Challenge Harry Reid For Senate
Needs Of The Many ^

Posted on 08/23/2007 1:59:53 PM PDT by vaper69

Well, this should be good.

LVRJ:

Mansoor Ijaz says he is considering testing his wings against none other than Majority Leader Reid.

An American Muslim of Pakistani heritage, Ijaz is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Virginia. At 46, he's the founder and president of the Crescent Investment Group of New York, which sports former CIA Director James Woolsey, Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson, and Gen. James L. Jones as members of its advisory board.

This is the best part, lol:

"He's been attacked by critics, including former members of the Clinton administration, for his insistence that he had persuaded the Sudan to turn over the location of Osama bin Laden, only to find the United States too distracted. Although right-leaning media outlets have made much of the Sudanese issue, according to SourceWatch.org the 9/11 Commission didn't find credible evidence to support the most dramatic claims."

Who knows, but I would suggest that it's the 911 Commission that has some "credibility" problems.

It says he is registered Independent. But it would be interesting to see if he tries to take Old Harry out in a primary election.

Well this should be interesting. If he’s not a surrender monkey, go ahead and run against Harry.

A muslim running against an anti-war democrat. I can’t wait until the left starts calling him an islamophobic warmonger.

Nice try people. Giving $500K to Al Gore? As I remember Dingy Harry won by 500 votes against John Ensign. U would think that he would be vulnerable the next time around but 5 months b4 his last victory there was an article in a Nevada newspaper that stated Republican business interests supported his re-election. Right then I knew the deck was stacked. The only people worse than these politicians are voters that take them seriously. Harry Reid will win again.
