Ashcroft: Vote For Kerry, Vote for Al-Qaeda
"ASHCROFT ON AL-QAEDA....Gallimaufry catches this contemptible quote from John Ashcroft yesterday when he announced the possibility of an al-Qaeda attack in the United States this summer:

'The Madrid railway bombings were perceived by Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda to have advanced their cause. Al Qaeda may perceive that a large-scale attack in the United States this summer or fall would lead to similar consequences.'

The supposed 'consequence' of the Madrid attack, of course, was a victory by the opposition party. So Ashcroft is rather unsubtly saying that al-Qaeda would consider a John Kerry victory to have 'advanced their cause.'

What a despicable worm. What a revolting, loathsome, toad."

5. Frankly, compared to the bush regime, Al queda is an honorable
organization.

At least their alleged cause is rooted in truth and justice.

Bush's causes are greed and profiteering.

Total bullshit. Both * and Osama have an apocalyptic vision that they are trying to bring to fruition. They feed one anothers zealotry and need for power.

Al Qaida want's BUSH! No doubt about it. :hi:

7. Ashcroft is a lazy-eyed, drunken buffoon who avoided Vietnam
That chickenshit chickenhawk's opinion means NOTHING to me.

He's been on the gubmint teat for over 30 years and it's about time to send him packing.

8. OUTRAGEOUS: The Rove Meme Continues on CNN !
Edited on Fri May-28-04 08:26 AM by MarkTwain
"Call CNN
Outrage:

ARENA: Neither John Kerry nor the president has said troops pulled out of Iraq any time soon. But there is some speculation that al Qaeda believes it has a better chance of winning in Iraq if John Kerry is in the White House.

BEN VENZKE, INTELCENTER: Al Qaeda feels that Bush is, even despite casualties, right or wrong for staying there is going to stay much longer than possibly what they might hope a Democratic administration would.

There you go. We're fighting al Qaeda in Iraq and they think John Kerry is a wimp.

Atlanta:
404-827-1500
Washington:
