"So which party do you think he wants, the one promising to stay and fight or the one promising to surrender? I know which party I'd want." He wants the one that's turned him into a global Muslim superstar. The one that has turned a rag-tag bunch of terrorists into a global movement. The one that turned 1500 mujahadeen into a ever growing army. The one that has disaffected youth worldwide wearing Osama T-shirts. The knee-jerk predictable, completely clueless Republicans.

"So which party do you think he wants, the one promising to stay and fight or the one promising to surrender? " He wants the one that let's him answer "Yes" to the question "Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?" He has prospered under Shrub. Da Shrub has his vote. Might even vote twice. Their families are friends. He thinks Georgie is doin' a heckofajob. Al Qaeda seen reborn as key threat Report fuels more debate on Iraq war course By Bryan Bender, Globe Staff \| July 18, 2007 WASHINGTON -- The Al Qaeda terror network, responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, has reestablished a safe haven in Pakistan, retained its top leadership, and trained new operatives in Iraq -- and now poses a "heightened threat" of another massive attack on the United States, according to the summary of a joint American intelligence assessment. Despite large-scale US efforts to capture and kill fugitive leader Osama bin Laden after driving his organization from Afghanistan six years ago, the report concludes, Al Qaeda remains an elusive, resilient organization that has rebuilt itself. It has joined forces with other like-minded groups and has used the US invasion of Iraq to recruit and train disaffected Muslims. boston.com It would be nice if the world turned the way you expected it to, but I notice your track record is pretty much the opposite. Hope springs eternal, tho. Those pesky Saddam WMDs have got to exist somewhere besides in your mind.
