McCain: Osama bin Laden and I agree on Iraq
David Edwards and Mike Sheehan
Published: Monday March 24, 2008

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told supporters at a town hall meeting that he, top US commander in Iraq Gen. David Petraeus, and terror mastermind Osama bin Laden all agree about the Iraq war.

"As you probably know, an audiotape ... was released where bin Laden said, and I have to quote bin Laden: 'The nearest field of jihad today to support our people in Palestine ... is the Iraqi field.' He urged Palestinians and people of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to 'help in support of their mujahideen brothers in Iraq which is the greatest opportunity and the biggest task.'"

McCain followed that with, "For the first time, I have seen Osama bin Laden and Gen. Petraeus in agreement, and that is, the central battleground in the battle against al-Qaeda is in Iraq today! That's what bin Laden is saying, and that's what Gen. Petraeus is saying, and that's what I'm saying, my friends."

Oh what a tangled web we weave.

1. I get the feeling that will go over about as well as a fart in an elevator

I would think that agreeing with OBL on anything is a really, really bad idea when running for president.

12. Oh come on, we all know he'll get a free pass.

Can you imagine if a Dem said something like that? Holy crap.

"Tonight on Chris Matthews, Democrat X agrees with Osama Bin Laden. We'll be covering this story every five minutes for the next 30 days."

2. There is a sound-byte just waiting to be picked up on.

This is going to be one hell of an election season.

3. Go, Johnny, go, go!

Keep making those commercials for us--it doesn't look like we'll have a candidate by fall, so it's just a matter of doing the editing and handing them to the Dem candidate!

7. Fock. I'd laugh if the old coot wasn't running for

Nuclear Warlord.

Is there a home test for Alzheimers?

This is worse than letting crazy aunt Mary Lou near the backhoe.

9. Snort!

:rofl:

8. Why do OBL sound bites only show up during elections;

And only tend to support Republican positions? Seems to me that we have met OBL demands from 911; we
are out of Saudi Arabia and oil is at $100/barrel ( good job Georgie). I don't know, seems strange to me.:crazy:

10. McCain your company has made a mess. We are firing you and bringing in new managent.

[HuffleClaw]

11. well, since it was us propaganda in the first place

its no wonder.

[HawkerHurricane]

13. He's right.

Both McCain and Osama Bin Forgotten want to keep American troops in Iraq for as long as possible.

Now, John, you're a military man. What does it tell you when you're doing what the enemy WANTS YOU TO DO!
