Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

Is al-Qaeda afraid of John McCain?

More than a few critics of the war in Iraq — THIS ONE in the Times of London, for a recent example — have argued convincingly that the conflict has been a boon to al-Qaeda’s propaganda, recruitment and fundraising efforts.

It follows from that, then, that continuation of President Bush’s policy in Iraq would play into the hands of the bad guys. Ergo, it only stands to reason that al-Qaeda would prefer to see John McCain elected as Bush’s successor.

Ah, but McCain begs to differ.  He contends that  al-Qaeda is quaking in its sandals at the very thought of him serving as U.S. commander in chief. The villains, he SAYS , might even attack America this year just to tilt the election against him.

Of course, this is the same John McCain who has promised that once he becomes president, he’ll “follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell and I will shoot him…” He seems to think he’ll handle the job personally — a septuagenarian who sometimes needs help from his wife to walk down the steps of an airplane.

Yeah, sure he will.

God save us from the John Wayne types.

Say what, Dude?

President Bush had Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno over to the White House the other day and told him this:

“I appreciate the fact that you really snatched defeat out of the jaws of those who were trying to defeat us in Iraq.”

Try to parse that sentence.

They don’t want her to become president, but, as THIS suggests, they hope she’ll be the Democratic nominee.

Gee, I wonder why.
