Like any terrorist organization, al-Qaeda wants attention. It wants to be perceived as powerful. And it particularly wants Americans to live in fear.
Could al-Qaeda possibly have found a better publicist than President Bush?
At a South Carolina Air Force base yesterday, Bush mentioned al-Qaeda and bin Laden 118 times in 29 minutes, arguing that the violence unleashed by the U.S. invasion in Iraq would somehow come to America's shores if U.S. troops were to withdraw.
But the majority of that violence in Iraq is caused either by Iraqis murdering each other for religious reasons or by Iraqis trying to throw off the American occupation. The group that calls itself al-Qaeda in Iraq is only one of a multitude of factions creating chaos in that country, and the long-term goals of its Iraqi members are almost certainly not in line with those of al-Qaeda HQ (which is safely ensconced in Pakistan).
Furthermore, the administration's own intelligence community has concluded that the war in Iraq has helped rather than hurt al-Qaeda.
I don't know why I did not see this before! It all makes perfect sense now!
When the attack on 9-11 happened, the Bush administration seemed to know it was al-Qaeda even before the fire was put out. Did Bush have some warning?
And when we supposedly almost had Bin Laden in our sights in Tora Bora, Bush starts a war in Iraq. This new war takes most of the military out of Afghanistan and off of the hunt for Bin Laden and is based on the lie that Saddam Hussein had WMD's. This allows Bin Laden, the head of al-Qaeda to escape. Now why would anybody not working for al-Qaeda do that?
And then when we invaded Iraq we did not bring enough troops to guard the weapons caches, which were cleaned out by the Iraqis and are now being used to kill our soldiers. Without those resources would there be so much death in Iraq? And this news of death in Iraq has helped to terrorize Americans over here. In other words it has terrorized us.
And our invasion of Iraq also provided the perfect training ground for al-Qaeda to train future terrorists. Not to mention making many more Muslims angry at the US and willing to join al-Qaeda. Now that is most certainly the work of a top al-Qaeda operative!
And who is the one who is constantly reminding us that al-Qaeda is coming to kill us? George Bush that's who. And if the main focus of a terrorist is to strike terror in the hearts of their enemy then who would be the most vocal advocate for this terrorist group?
I have to stop now cause my tinfoil hat is spinning on my head.
Just think about it though. At the very least we have to admit that George Bush is either the worst President that we have ever had, or the best al-Qaeda spokesman in the history of al-Qaeda.
Maybe george thought Al Qaeda was arabic for Skull and Bones? ~~ D.K.
