Terrorist Group Endorses Bush
" it was not possible to find a leader "more foolish than you (Bush), who deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom."

In comments addressed to Bush, the group said:

"Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the Arab and Muslim nation as civilization."

"Because of this we desire you (Bush) to be elected."

The group said its cells were ready for another attack and time was running out for allies of the United States. "

9. OK, so now if we keep Bush we will
be playing into the hands of the terrorists!

Looks like there's only one thing for an America loving Patriot like Bush to do, get his name off that ballot! (Oh, and take Cheney with you.)

13.  This is too much.
First, we don't know if the group is for real.

Second, with so much psy-ops going on with AQ who the hell knows what the intention really is.

Third, the script looks like it was written by a 14-year-old video RPG geek.

I'll pass on this as significant information.

14. .
Terrorists: We want Bush elected because no one is as foolish as Bush...

Strong on national defense that Bush guy is right?? Right?
That should totally show that he is anything than strong on national defense.
That would make a great but not too succesful TV ad.

46. And speaking of rabid RWers...
It's frightening how much this quote looks like a Coulterite rant if you just switch countries:

"Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the American people as civilization."

20. The terrorist group in question is Al Queda
You can see the entire context of the statment that has been translated at http://www.itshappening.com Register and go to the AlNeda forum and check under Iraq and Spain headings, or go to the general news/terrorism section and check under the same headings.

FYI this forum translated several Al Q statements made on muslim extremist websites before Christmas last year warning that Spain and Italy would be the next countries to be hit. This latest statement is rather chilling.

Just a heads up...

21. Bush, Like Kerry, Can Now Also Claim Endorsement From "Foreign Leaders"
Well, the White House, in its race to go tit-for-tat with John Kerry,has quickly come up with some foreign leaders of their own who are willing to go on the record endorsing Mr. Bush for President...even if it has to be al Qaeda.

So there! George Bush has his foreign supporters, too!

23. Why do I find myself enjoying this revelation?
Rush was saying today how not blowing up every suspected terrorist country to bits "simply was not working."

Hmmmmm. Let's see...peaceful presidents, less terrorism. Arrogant, aggressive asshole as president, world in turmoil...hmmmmm.

25. Agree
This is just bizarre....

"Don't elect Kerry he will destroy us" sounds like Homer Simpson practicing reverse psychology. Not that Kerry won't take the fight to them but it just seem plain odd to state it like that.

32. It is just weird...
Yeah, its sort of like someone who doesn't understand reverse psychology getting really confused after smoking a lid of grass, and trying to explain the infinite size of the universe, or that C-A-T really spells DOG.

Is this group Al Queda, or, a splinter group? They article indicates they are followers of a guy who was killed in a raid a while ago. Perhaps they are channeling his spirit, and their cell phone reception was off, so, the message got a bit garbled.

Edited on Wed Mar-17-04 07:31 PM by Robbien
He is doing a terrific job. We are near bankrupt and China/Japan is going to stop supporting our debt 3/31. We have lost almost all our international support and we have an overextended military. We produce almost nothing, our exports are mainly agricultural.

We are a poor agrarian country. They did not have to take us down. Bush did it for them.

Seriously, though, this is really strange.

Edited on Wed Mar-17-04 07:57 PM by kgfnally
A whole shaker full. Look at the dates of publication. There are eight results listed for her name; thus, eight dates. None of the dates given are prior to 2/28/04, and they span, collectively, less than a month, and due to duplicates, there are only five articles listed.

This is blatant propaganda masquerading as real news- something right out of the Nazi playbook, I might add. This is, IMO, completely fake.

It's intended to push people into voting for Kerry. Reverse psychology indeed, and this is a very slick ploy. I think perhaps their intentions are to allow * to be dismissed, only to find a way to keep him there in spite of elections.

Picture this: Bombing in Spain. Bush supporters are ousted. Eight articles, all during a span of less than a month. A suspicious-sounding name for the reporter. Letter endorsing Bush because "Kerry will destroy us." November elections happen, and Kerry wins. There's a big bombing here. Repubs, still in office, whip out this letter. Argue, successfully, for martial law. Transfer of power does not occur.

It would be just like * to give the people their little vote day and let them scream their little hearts out and then say "HAHA, fool you!" There are just too many suspicious things going on regarding this bombing for me to believe that it isn't more than simple terrorism.

Something much bigger is going on.

35. Could Be Reverse Psychology or...
could be that "they" know Kerry has stated he wants to put more pressure on Saudi Arabia to become more democratic and less radical, fundamentalist Muslim.

These terrorists don't want democracy. They like being able to have multiple wives and to beat them for allowing a bit of hair to slip from their chador.
