JERUSALEM - Everybody has an opinion about next Tuesday's midterm congressional election in the U.S. - including senior terrorist leaders interviewed by WND who say they hope Americans sweep the Democrats into power because of the party's position on withdrawing from Iraq, a move, as they see it, that ensures victory for the worldwide Islamic resistance.

The terrorists told WorldNetDaily an electoral win for the Democrats would prove to them Americans are "tired."

They rejected statements from some prominent Democrats in the U.S. that a withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency, explaining an evacuation would prove resistance works and would compel jihadists to continue fighting until America is destroyed.

They said a withdrawal would also embolden their own terror groups to enhance "resistance" against Israel.

"Of course Americans should vote Democrat," Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group and the infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, told WND.

"This is why American Muslims will support the Democrats, because there is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw from Iraq. It is time that the American people support those who want to take them out of this Iraqi mud," said Jaara, speaking to WND from exile in Ireland, where he was sent as part of an internationally brokered deal that ended the church siege.

Why does the left believe if we hadn't gone into Iraq everything would be rosey and the terrorists wouldn't have rallied against us? It seems pretty naive to think that wherever the U.S. would choose to fight the war on terrorism that the enemy wouldn't rally to that country and use that conflict as a recruitment tool for the terrorists. Please all Dems out there, enlighten us as to where the U.S. should fight the Islamic extremists since they exist in every country in the middle east as well as other countries in the world?

Republicans are crooks and liars who are all sharing the same brain and not capable of independent thought. Is that who you want controlling the keys ?

Didnt think so

again you point out things I didn't say but okay.
Yes I'm through, okay. I think bush had the right intent, he might be a little over his welcome wagon but it will help Iraq, and just because hes gone doesn't mean we'll be leaving anytime soon, my assignment date is still the same and wont change

Were terrorists in Iraq before we were? Was Sadam plotting with Al-Queda? Answer: NO

Is the overwhelming majority of the insurgency Iraqi? Answer: YES less than 5% are foreign terrrists

Do the majority of Iraqis want us to leave? Answer: YES over 70% want us to leave and 60% think it's ok to kill American troops to achieve this goal.

Do they have the right to want us out of their country? Answer: YES it's their country.


A question for you to answer. If Iraq had invaded the US and defeated our military would you and most able-bodied Americans fight to remove them? I would.

We are there because the Iraqis live on top of a lot of oil and Halliburton is making a killing.

There is very little rebuilding going on because there isn't even a basic level of security to operate in Iraq. We have found ourselves playing referee in a civil war we made possible.

I'm truly sorry you find yourself going into this mess.

I'm pretty sure alot of the older, wiser Military people support president bush, right now mostly the only people talking are young, and don't understand much of what THEY say. So yea. John Kerry says "STUDY HARD OR YOU'LL END UP IN IRAQ"
support that. I guess I didn't study hard enough, I'm going to Iraq. I'm proud. Because, yes we make mistakes in Iraq, just like me make mistakes here, yes but its not just about WMD, its about Terrorism, which making a 20 Ounce coke Can turn into a bomb that can leave a hold bigger then a few basketball goals, I consider that terrorism, especailly when you're killing you're own people. You have to understand it, but we aren't killing innocent people in Iraq, not purposely, we cant. If an officer finds to think we kill Innocent Iraqis, We goto jail, so we, protecting our lives can goto jail for years, and its not an alternative. Defending your country is an honor and soldiers in Iraq agree to it, soldiers getting ready to goto Iraq agree to it. Mission: REBUILDING IRAQ. Thats the mission, we can't do our mission while getting shot at or stepping on coke cans that blow your leg off. Should it keep us from staying? no. To come so far in a mission. You aren't in the army, because you don't know our creed. its about the mission.

Emperor Bush at it again slinging mud on Kerry using Rush Limbaugh for a bad joke. Kerry has Purple Hearts, how many does Bush, Cheyne or Rumsfield have? How did Bush serve in the mililtary? He didn't do much because he was from a rich family and they helped get him out of going to Vietnam. But look at what Bush has done for us, what he won't talk about like spending billions on a failed policy in Irag. Going over the UN to go it alone! Recently millions of dollars of our taxpayer money for weapons for their armed forces was ripped off from under our noses? No reconstruction going on for the people, civil war, and the Cleric is back to controlling Sadar City? They told us to get out! Our National Debt is at 4 TRILLION! Left for our grandchildren to try to pay? What a mess Bush has us in. It's another Vietnam. We will never be able to get out of there thanks to these guys!
That was what Kerry was trying to say!

first of all snflwr4real----it is considered rude to use all caps on the internet and is the equivalent of shouting.

one thing is evident from your post----you certainly have issues to resolve and regardless of what you may truly think----the solutions to which will not be found in others, but in yourself.
