The Madrid bombing definitely influenced the direction of the election in Spain.

Al-Qaeda will definitely try to do something (or many things) to influence the US elections in November.

The al-Qaeda warning that they were 90% ready for a major attack on the US should be taken seriously now.

Kerry seems to fit the al-Qaeda preferences very well. Clinton played the appeasement game for 8 years. The Clinton cut-and-run travesty in Somolia, early on the Clinton watch, just emboldened bin Laden and the direct result was the atrocities of 9-11.

Kerry, based on his voting record, previous speeches and positions, etc., would turn our security over to the UN and reinstall appeasement and placation as our foreign policy.

Yes, and along the lines you are voicing, the silver lining may be that Kerry will go further down the road of publicly blaming the US... siding with the new Spanish PM... he is on incredibly thin ice.

Let him rant and rave all he wants right now. Then we'll use his words against him while the trial of Saddam is going on this fall, and the American people will be reminded of the brutality of the Saddam regime.
