Aaron Swartz presents three reasons why Al-Qaeda wants President Bush to be re-elected.
- Reuters reported a letter from an al-Qaeda group that said “it supported U.S. President George W. Bush in his reelection campaign, and would prefer him to win in November rather than the Democratic candidate John Kerry, as it was not possible to find a leader ‘more foolish than you (Bush), who deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom.
- A top CIA expert on al-Qaeda has concluded that al-Qaeda loves President Bush, and might go so far as to plan an election attack to rally the country around Bush.
- Even administration officials concede “al-Qaeda has morphed into a loose and expanding association of regional terror cells [and] the Iraq war has fueled rather than doused the fires of jihad.”
I truly agree.
I think President Bush is doing more harm than good. He is fueling the growth of such terrorist organizations through the use of dumb force and creation of more hatred towards the US throughout the world.
The situations Bush keeps creating are the ideal ones for an organization like Al Qaeda to grow and recruit more and more members.
Of course they’d want him to stay.
