Al Qaeda endorses John McCain (for real)

[NewJeffCT]

It's been a while since I put a diary up on DailyKos, but somebody there requested it when I posted this in an open thread...

>>>
Back in 2004, Republicans used the terrorism issue to hammer Democrats. Dick Cheney said that if we elected John Kerry, it would only be a matter of time before the terrorists would hit America again, and every call to withdraw from Iraq was greeted by jeers of retreating from the terrorists from Republicans.

We now have a real way to hit back at them on this issue that should be very easy for our media to understand
...
Just before the 2004 election, Osama bin Laden released a tape that seemingly indicated he wanted John Kerry to win the election. However, the news that the CIA later concluded that the bin Laden tape was designed to support Bush generated almost no coverage in the media. Also making little news was the fact that Iran also endorsed Bush in 2004.

And, since 2004, Republicans have continued to hammer away at Democrats on this issue on things like domestic spying and torture.
