Was Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King on the mark last week when he asserted Islamic terrorists would rejoice if Obama becomes the next U.S. president?
What do the terrorists think about these policies? Well, journalist, Aaron Klein, recently asked them:
Ramadan Adassi, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades terror group in the West Bank's Anskar refugee camp, pointed to Obama's rise to stardom as "an important success. He won popularity in spite of the Zionists and the conservatives."
Abu Hamed, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the northern Gaza Strip, explained the Democrat candidates' anti-war positions "prove that important leaders are understanding the situation differently and are understanding the price and the consequences of the American policy in Iraq and in the world."
Muhammad Saadi, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin, said talk of withdrawal from Iraq makes him feel "proud."
"As Arabs and Muslims we feel proud of this talk," he told me for my book. "Very proud from the great successes of the Iraqi resistance. This success that brought the big superpower of the world to discuss a possible withdrawal."
Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hamas' military wing in the Gaza Strip, was more direct: The policy of withdrawal, he stated, "proves the strategy of the resistance is the right strategy against the occupation."
What about dialogue with America's enemies, such as sit-downs with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Obama has so fervently advocated?
Muhammad Abdel-Al, spokesperson and a senior leader of the Popular Resistance Committees terror group, recently explained to me U.S. willingness to negotiate and initiate dialogue "shows the Islamic resistance is bringing the giant [America] to is knees."
"It would be a great achievement complemented by more and more dead American soldiers they will carry in coffins to the U.S.," said Abdel-Al.
You mean would, not will.
And yep, it'd be viewed as the ultimate appeasement.
They will be dancing and cheering in the streets as if it were 9/11 all over again.
unless McCain gives conservatives a reason to show up on election day it is a will
I don’t and never have given a flying frack how Islam “views” us.
Is Dearborn, MI considered an Islamic state yet?
Well, LC, depends on what you mean by the word "us." A "President Hussein," God-forbid, would not stand for me, yet he would be viewed by the world at large as representing "me." This is what's so troubling, IMO.
So since Obama is such a favorite of the bad guys, does this mean America would be safe from future attacks? Ha ha.
Sadly though I wonder how many moron Americans will vote for him just because they believe that, or they think suddenly America will be loved and respected under President Obama, and this will somehow make us safer.
“I don’t and never have given a flying frack how Islam “views” us.”
Except that examples such as those above show how MUCH our politics which they could NEVER understand) are more fuel for the fire of their propaganda and recruitment of jihadists - it all gets distorted and twisted to present us as a mindless, immoral, laughable country that indeed deserves their “cleansing”, for Allah.
“Is Dearborn, MI considered an Islamic state yet?”
Very, very close, I think - right behind London.
“I don’t and never have given a flying frack how Islam “views” us.”
a PS - 9/ll was an expression of how they “viewed” us. With plans of more to come.
What can he do between now and the election that would satisfy conservatives? I mean, we can't trust anything he says that goes against his paat. His VP choice? Announce his cabinet? Didn't he announce that there would be many Democrats in his cabinet to prove he is willing to work for unity?
