Al Qaeda's Zawahiri Rebuts McCain's Ignorance »
Posted By Aidenag 6 months, 1 week ago in NewsRecently, Sen. John McCain has repeatedly claimed that Iran and al Qaeda are working together to defeat the United States in Iraq. Al Qaeda begs to differ. In a new online Q&A session, Ayman al-Zawahiri - the terrorist organization's number two leader - clearly states al Qaeda wants Iran to fail in Iraq...

Oh geesh!
It is astonishin at how our Republicans are RELENTLESS in establishin enemies that we need to defend ourselfs against.
And the solution, as ironical as it seems, is ALWAYS the same ... we need to spend more money on the military ... so that they can do MORE (poorly planned) invadin, MORE goverment topplin, and more destabilizin.
Which of course, breeds ACTUAL enemies for our nations future, and for our children.

I lieked it better when our nation was known for the Peace Corps.
I think the world lieked us better for that as well.
But I would never admit that in the company of my fellow Christian Conservatives.
We Christian Conservatives dont believe in the Peace Corps - or ANYTHING connected to peace.
We only believe in supportin Pre-Emptive war ... and divertin AS MUCH TAX MONEY AS POSSIBLE to makin our nation the most militiristic of all nations.

I know it might seem wiered and odd that we Christians are so supportive of turnin America into a military machine... but you have to realize, we dont really support ANYTHING Jesus taougt.
Remember, 96% of us voted for GW.

WE Conservatives dont REALLY support McCain.
Remember, we REJECTED McCain 8 years ago. Back then, we rated him as not NEARLY as viable as Goerge W. Bush ... soon to be known as the worst presdient in American history.
No ... weare just bidin our time with McCain.
Weare patiently waitin for our ultimate salvation ... the second comin of Ronald Reagan.

the fact that Obama knew Iraq was a huge mistake from the beginning, and said so in a speech back before the invasion, makes him smarter than the other two who are running, who both voted to give Bush all the power he wanted, which was really really stupid.
remember, McCain is the one who went to Baghdad and tried to sell us the lame lie that being in downtown baghdad was like being at the state fair.
he also doesn't know the diff between sunni and shiite, iran and al qaeda. and his 100 years in iraq quote, even when taken in its entirety, shows he doens't know what's going on in Iraq.
and you're part of the half that voted for bush. and this half will forever be officially known, for all posterity and throughout the universe, as the stupid half. get used to it. cause we'll all be reminding you how stupid you guys were for many years to come.

OK, nevermind the fact that the Republican candidate who is supposed to be strong on defense doesn`t know the difference between Shiite and Sunni, makes up $hi in his head and bases his policies on that, and would happily send other people`s children to their deaths in iraq for the next 100 years. Forget about all that...
Hillary forgot what happened fifteen years ago!

Ok, did you serve in the military, or are you just another chickenhawk? Plus, when you look at American history, we're not that different than Iran. Oh, I get it. If we're the ones overthrowing democratically elected politicians, renditioning innocent people and illegally invading countries that aren't a threat to us then its cool. Hypocritical bull$hit

(no idea why the double post above)
But just remembered something. Isn`t this the same Zawahiri who invited Bush to join him for OJ in the Green Zone to thank Bush for keeping the troops in Iraq throughout the rest of his term. Zawahiri was thankful because he said if the troops left, he wouldn`t have any way to kill Americans.

the problem with that point is those Americans that are going to get killed HERE if we don't have troops over there?
The are hypothetical deaths
The americans that are being killed 'over there' are REAL deaths
It's really kind of sad that so many Americans can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy
I guess the deaths you fear are worse than the deaths you know
It's sort of like when you're worried about something so much, that you do something self-destructive to take your mind off it, ya know? Like you're worried about finances so you take up gambling, or worry about your wife's loyalty and so destroy it thru jealousy, something like that
3000 deaths in 2001 are bad, so let's fix it by getting 4000 more americans killed
but hey, look all the deaths that could have happened we prevented with real deaths

We caint't win... we strike alQaeda, it's good for Iran, we strike Iran, it's good for alQaeda. We fight Moqtada, that's good for Iran, we fight Iran, that's good for Moqtada (and the "get America out" Iraqi nationalists). What's good for us????

It's hard to believe that clown al-Zawihiri is actually a doctor! A doctor is sort of a scientist, no?

To any TRUE Muslim we are infidels. Their religion teaches that they should kill us all. The Koran specificly orders our death throughout the book. It's ok that we get them before they get us. Just look what they are doing to Europe. England is all messed up from them and so is France with violence and burning cars a daily thing. Holland is taking the hard line with them by telling all what a nut Muhammed was. There has been multiple attempts at attacking us over here over the last few years. The fact that all those attempts have failed deserves a big THANK YOU to President Bush for protecting us.
McCain will protect us much better than Hillary or Obama will.

Your lumping all Muslims together, placing the words of a few terrorists as a mainstay of their religion, and then referring to all people of this faith as "they" is just stupid.

Some defenders of islam have come on here and said that terrorists and their supporters only make up about 10% of islam. If so, how many millions of people is that? Lets also not forget that Pew did a research poll showing the 25% of American muslims think terrorism can be justified.
Again, how many millions of people is that?
You also have to take into account that islam is not fighting back against the terrorists who are giving them a bad name. Why do they remain silent?

Isn't that exactly what Goppy does to Christians in just about every post?
Have you ever called him out on it or do you not care because he is attacking Christians?
Some people need to look up the word hypocrisy....
