I see you missed the point of my post. I was trying to point out the tendency to use every news story to express contempt for the president elect. I am glad to see you come to his defence.
The take on this that I saw on either BBC or CNN International, can't remember which, is that it is an attempt to regain some popularity. Seems the reports from the Mid-East are that Al-Quida has lost much of its appeal and relivance there. Obama has taken away much of their thunder from
Al-Quida with the regular folks in that region of the world.
I agree, except I believe the terrorists want Obama elected instead of John McCain.
I don't think it had anything to do with President Bush.
They know John McCain would have backed the military to the hilt while Obama will make our troops come home, leaving yet another job unfinished and Iraq open to attack by Iran.
Now that they don't have to worry about McCain, they are, and will be, laughing at...and hating Obama.
Their objective was achieved.
In one way you may be correct. However with Obama being elected it has made it much more difficult for them to use the propaganda machine in painting the US as the Great Satan. Also, Obama is very popular with the majority of the population in the Mid-East and this has diminished the influence of the terrorists and of Al-Quida.
It has presented the same problem for the leaders of Iran.
Doesn't mean obama has done anyting right, except being elected, and it wouldn't matter who was elected they'd still be attacking the presidency of the US.
Folks, remember we can talk about our presidents (elect) anyway we want to.
However, when our avowed enemies mock and insult him that's a different matter altogether.
In this case, AQ came down with a case of the raging stupids.
They really expect to gain the support of African-Americans after this.
They'd of lost the support on Malcom X if he were still alive.
