Cue the crickets

When John McCain erroneously declared three times in recent days that al-Qaeda militants in Iraq were being supplied by Iran (about which we reported HERE), the mainstream media paid the matter only SCANT ATTENTION.

Of course, if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton had made the same mistake, the media furor would have been downright sensational.

Tell me again about the bias of the liberal media.  I like fairy tales at bedtime.

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.
