If McCain won, Zawahiri would have had a better case to make. With Obama, he's really reaching
Edited on Wed Nov-19-08 08:31 PM by jenmito
If MCCAIN won, Zawahiri could've said, "See how America rejected the most popular candidate in the world because his name is Barack HUSSEIN Obama? They truly hate all people even with Muslim NAMES!" Now he can't say anything like that because we DID elect Barack HUSSEIN Obama and he knows he's "screwn." So he has to pretend Obama's a "House Negro" who is workin' for "the man." The world, including the Muslim world Zawahiri is trying to reach, now sees us in a more positive light than they EVER did under Bush and would've under McCain.

17. How "intelligent" is it to feed more US troops
into the Afghan meat grinder???

That is, after all, Obama's stated objective, i.e., to withdraw troops from Iraq but increase troop deployments to the Afghanistan\Pakistan theater. This in support of a regime (Karzai's) that makes al Maliki look the epitome of popular legitimacy.

This is one time where Obama would be well-served to repudiate the centrist humbug (of Afghanistan as somehow a "good war") and take a more progressive tack (of an immediate ceasefire accompanied by comprehensive negotiations towards a comprehensive peace). Somehow I doubt that Obama will be that "intelligent."

Flame away!

2. Obama's working for 66 million "man"....I guess, of every color, height, religion
and ethnicity.

Didn't OBama win a majority of the Catholic, Jewish and Muslim votes? Cause that is what I read somewheres.... :)

25. No that was Zarqawi, he died like two years ago. They have similar names though.
They are all the same anyways.

11. It's still funny to see him trying to make people hate Obama like they hate Bush.

12. I don't know if he is or not, but if he is, I'd think there'd be some chatter about it on the net.

22. Yep like, "although you claim your mother is Christian..."
Clearly Ayman has read neither of Barack's books because that's simply not true. :-)

15. Was Zawahiri doing an imitation of Michael Savage-weiner?
I just heard it was laced with racial slurs and for some reason the Savage-wiener jumped into my mind. Is Zawahiri auditioning for a sot on the hate talk circuit?

19. I have heard about 3 minutes, From what I understand it is all pretty
much the same throughout the show. The three minutes I heard were bad. Name calling, whining and blaming his troubles on others.

23. The only thing I know about him is he said he wished news networks would keep playing
the video of the planes going into the towers so people could remember why we're in Iraq. :eyes:
