THIS IS SWEET...

You may recall that in the 2004 elections, the war whore wingnuts were saying that Al Qaeda would prefer Kerry to win because he wouldn't be as aggressive against the terror group. Now, the tables have turned:

Al-Qaida-linked Web site backs McCain as president

WASHINGTON (AP) - Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency.

The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, "impetuous" Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the message said. "Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush."

SITE Intelligence Group, based in Bethesda, Md., monitors the Web site and translated the message.

"If al-Qaida carries out a big operation against American interests," the message said, "this act will be support of McCain because it will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaida. Al-Qaida then will succeed in exhausting America till its last year in it."

This also appeared in the Washington Post with this headline:

The McCain gang whines about the WaPo's headline as if today's GOP wasn't built on similar claims about Kerry, Democrats and liberals. At least there's evidence this time.
