McCain: Osama bin Laden and I agree on Iraq.


Huh???

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told supporters at a town hall meeting that he, top US commander in Iraq Gen. David Petraeus, and terror mastermind Osama bin Laden all agree about the Iraq war.

"As you probably know, an
audiotape ... was released where bin Laden said, and I have to quote bin Laden: 'The nearest field of jihad today to support our people in Palestine ... is the Iraqi field.' He urged Palestinians and people of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to 'help in support of their mujahideen brothers in Iraq which is the greatest opportunity and the biggest task.'"

McCain followed that with, "For the first time, I have seen Osama bin Laden and Gen. Petraeus in agreement, and that is, the central battleground in the battle against al-Qaeda is in Iraq today! That's what bin Laden is saying, and that's what Gen. Petraeus is saying, and that's what I'm saying, my friends." More on the story.

This shows how little the US knows about the Middle East. First of all the Palestinian land was occupied by Israel. Now we know that Isreal has it's 60th anniversary in 2007. So with that date in history the UN records show in 1946 Isreal wasn't on Palestine land. As for Osama's statement facts show Saddam wouldn't allow Al Qaeda in Iraq but the US did. All the people of the Middle East are related by Abraham and his two sons Ishmael and Isaac. No wonder this country is so messed up no one bothers to read American History, World History or even the Bible.

The battleground for Al Qaeda is in Iraq............sigh did it start out that way? Is that really the case? And pa leeze......Bin Laden videos for real? And McCain believes in elves, well that reminds me of when this guy got in a car accident.....you remember the 7 dwarfs, grumpy, sneezy etc. OK, so he rear ends a dwarf, the dwarf gets out of his car they meet where the impact occurred and the dwarf said "I'm not Happy" and the guy who hit him said "Then which one are you?" that's when things went from bad to worse.
