Outrage

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!

CNN last night, presented without qualification, without challenge.:

ARENA: Neither John Kerry nor the president has said troops pulled out of Iraq any time soon. But there is some speculation that al Qaeda believes it has a better chance of winning in Iraq if John Kerry is in the White House.

BEN VENZKE, INTELCENTER: Al Qaeda feels that Bush is, even despite casualties, right or wrong for staying there is going to stay much longer than possibly what they might hope a Democratic administration would.

So, besides saying that if Kerry wins the terrorists win -- a statement so ridiculous and scary it makes me want to bash my head into a wall -- note that the statement also says that we are fighting Al Qaeda in Iraq. Iraq is a war against Al Qaeda? What a complete load of shit!

And again, I can't stress this enough, our presence in Iraq is good for Al Qaeda. A more moderate policy towards the Middle East, what the statement implies a Democratic President would institute, would probably weaken Al Qaeda's support and recruitment, while our aggressive policy clearly has emboldened them and created more sympathy for their cause among Arabs.

Atrios suggests that everyone call CNN and complain:

Atlanta:
404-827-1500

Washington:
202-898-7900

Perhaps smashing your head against a wall would help clear out whatever it is that prevents you from seeing a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda.
And while we are on the topic, everyone knows that Al Qaeda wants Kerry to win because he is morelikely to give into the ravings of extremists such as yourself.

Well argued, Carlos. It's hard to believe I missed that angle. How ebarrassing for me.
