Al Qaeda has finally made an official statement of policy regarding the 2008 US elections, and it is a ringing "anti-endorsement" for the Republican Party.
The "anti-endorsement", posted on the jihadist forums a week before the Election Day 2008, was included towards the end of the message. The message, from Al Qaeda leader (and Bagram prison escapee) Abu Yahya al Libi, was a Khutba or sermon delivered in honor of the Eid al Fitre holiday.
Unlike 2004, when Bin Laden referenced both candidates by name, but refrained from actually endorsing either, Al Libi specifically calls for the wrath of Allah to be brought down upon the Republicans.
The message is more of a "vote against" message calling for the party of Bush to be humiliated, rather than a "vote for" message promoting Obama and the Democrats:
Oh Allah, Lord of mankind, humiliate Bush and his party! Oh, Allah, degrade and defy him! Oh Allah, Lord of mankind, defy him! Oh Allah, make him live a day like the day Pharoah, Haman, and Qarun experienced, making him an example...
Comments about the election have been few and far between on the jihadist forums and in message from Al Qaeda leadership this year. This is a sharp contrast to the 2004 election, when discussion about candidates Bush and Kerry began months in advance of Election Day, and culminated in an official As Sahab release of a video tape from Osama bin Laden.
In a video released just 4 days before Election Day 2004, Bin Laden said:
Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or Al-Qa'ida. Your security is in your own hands"
At this point, it is not known whether or not Bin Laden will comment on the 2008 US Presidential Election. With just days to go before the election, we'll know soon whether or not Bin Laden will make a statement.
In the meantime, it appears obvious from Al Libi's statement that Al Qaeda is not supporting the Republicans.

In a sensible world, that should clinch the Republican win. However,,,,,,,
However, indeed......the MSM would NEVER broadcast an Al Qaeda endorsement of Barack Obama.
Dear al Qaeda,
It has been a while since we talked.
Now that it has been 7 years, how does it feel to have your asses handed to you on a daily basis by the US military? To be literally run into the ground in your own backyard?
Here’s to your quick and painful martyrdom,
Real Americans
Why hasn’t UBL weighted in yet with a video?
It’s like he doesn’t even care anymore...
A sensible world wouldn’t have a ballot boxes stuffed with dead people and allowing non US citizens to vote in our elections.
What a remarkable piece of good luck!
It’s really special to have your deadly enemy say bad things about you, just in time to sway a few undecided voters before the Election.
This proves that Bush and his Republicans and especially the US Armed Forces have done the job in Iraq and Afghanistan right!
Be concerned on the day that you receive a compliment from Osama bin Laden.
Al Qaeda declares its support for the success of McCain (Muslm.net via al-Hesbah - Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2008)
Al-Qaeda Supporting McCain? No, Not Really (Pajamas Media ^ | October 23, 2008 | Patrick Poole)
Lefty bloggers and pundits are ecstatic over a Washington Post article published Wednesday which reported that online forums frequented by al-Qaeda enthusiasts have expressed support for John McCain. This is all complete nonsense, of course, but it represents what passes as critical thinking among the Beltway media masses.The argument that the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, and the countless newspapers who picked up the story via AP, are trying to advance with their “al-Qaeda for McCain” storyline is akin to saying that Hitler preferred Churchill to Chamberlain — a patently laughable proposition....
So NOW all of those media sources are going to have to give THIS announcement legs or else reveal their pro-terrorist bias.
This will help o with his socialist followers.

“O God, humiliate Bush and his party, O Lord of the Worlds, degrade and defy him,” Abu Yahya al-Libi said at the end of sermon marking the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr, in a video posted on the Internet.
Obama pbuh will do his best to, in the name of Eid!
You are getting a little too good at that. LOL
