Why Al Qaeda prefers Bush as U.S. boss

by Tortuga Bi LIBERTY (savefreedom [at] yahoogroups.com)
If you were playing a game of chess
( with human lives at stake),
would you rather have a clever and well-informed opponent, or an ignorant and clumsy one? (Please forward.)
Al Qaida was very fortunate to have Bush, instead of Gore, occupying the White House on 11 September 2001.

They should have known that Bush, lacking Gore's knowledge of world affairs, would be unable to evaluate properly the proposals offered by his advisors, and thus would often make wrong strategic and tactical choices.

Al Qaeda should have known that Bush's mind was already fixated on Iraq, so that he wouldn't devote enough time, attention, or resources to fighting Al Qaeda and its allies. And that Bush would, after the brief Afghan War, neglect jihadist political and military threats in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan.


Now let's look forward to August 2004:

Will Athens Olympics distract U.S. voters from political issues?
Or will Al Qaeda terrorists strike Athens to help Bush get elected?

Why would terrorists want Bush, whom they despise, to rule the USA?
Because he stupidly falls for their tricks
and plays into their hands;
thus alienating potential allies
and energizing potential opponents.



Please forward to all freedom-seekers.
Tortuga Bi LIBERTY,
AQAB
(another queer against Bush)

..................

PS 1 : In case anyone is wondering,
I hate Al Qaeda, which I consider
fascist, anti-female, anti-queer, etc.

But I DON'T believe that
"the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
Not at all.
My friends are only those who love humanity and our planet.

Please forward the message above.

AUGUST 2004:
