I'd (al-Qaeda) be pretty happy with the way things have gone under Bush.

Do you really think they prefer the way things are now rather then when al-Qaeda ran terrorist camps in the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

Rich, can you point me to any verifiable source which provides a statement by any of "our enemies" in which it is said that they "want Kerry elected"?

I'll admit that I don't recall any al-Qaeda interviews. However, it has been mentioned quite often that al-Qaeda is looking to hit us before the election. I have not heard any liberals argue this. For what possible reason would al-Queada want to hit us before the election if not to affect the outcome?
