Al-Qaeda supporters back John McCain for president - Times Online

Al-Qaeda supporters back John McCain for president - Times Online: "Al-Qaeda supporters suggested in a website message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the US as a way to usher in a John McCain presidency.

The message, posted on Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah website, said if al-Qaeda wants to exhaust the US militarily and economically, 'impetuous' Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier,” the message said. “Then, al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush.”"
