| Hard boyz hope to bring down Bush |
| 2004-10-27 |
| Leaders and supporters of the anti-U.S. insurgency say their attacks in recent weeks have a clear objective: The greater the violence, the greater the chances that President Bush will be defeated on Tuesday and the Americans will go home. "If the U.S. Army suffered numerous humiliating losses, [Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John] Kerry would emerge as the superman of the American people," said Mohammad Amin Bashar, a leader of the Association of Muslim Scholars, a hard-line clerical group that vocally supports the resistance. Resistance leader Abu Jalal boasted that the mounting violence had already hurt Mr. Bush's chances. "American elections and Iraq are linked tightly together," he told a Fallujah-based Iraqi reporter. "We've got to work to change the election, and we've done so. With our strikes, we've dragged Bush into the mud." Mowafaq Al-Tai, a London-educated architect and intellectual, said different types of resistance fighters have different views of the U.S. election. The most pro-Kerry, he said, are the former Saddam Hussein loyalists — Ba'ath Party members and others who think Washington might scale back its ambitions for Iraq if Mr. Kerry wins, allowing them to re-enter civic life. The most pro-Bush, he said, are the foreign extremists. "They prefer Bush, because he's a provocative figure, and the more they can push people to the extreme, the better for their case." |

| #3 It's pretty obvious from this article (and reams of other documentation, both in the MSM and on the Internet) that even the islamofascists know that sKerry will cut and run at the first opportunity. What clearer proof would anyone need to vote against the dummycritter presidential candidate. |

| #1 Looks like an admission that they can't do anything in the US (knock on wood). I am amazed there was no hit in Greece. Lot's of folks like WWII comparisons. It looks like Afghanistan was Coras Sea; Iraq, Midway. Can't wait for Leyte. Iran? Syria? Saudtown? Unfortuantely, there'll be an Iwo and Okinawa coming too. |
