Web site linked to al-Qaida backs McCain

A known website that supports Al-Qaida posted this week that they would "welcome a pre-election terror attack" on the United States to help persuade votes for a McCain presidency. The message was posted on Monday on a secure al-Hesbah website and claimed McCain is the better presidential choice to be able to exhaust the US' economy and military because he will continue the wars in the Middle East. The SITE translated this message and caught its attention because there hasn't been much talk about the US election. Al-Qaida has also said that they will carry out a large terror operation if that's what it takes to get votes for McCain. Al-Qaida thinks that while McCain will keep the military in the Middle East they will be able to wear out the US' efforts. I find it strange that Al-Qaida would rather continue to wage war wiht the US then have a president who would remove all troops. I think this message is a good one for the McCain campaign because in my opinion he is the only candidate to be able to deal with terrorist threats and will not be exhausted by failed attempts in the Middle East, unlike Al-Qaida's theory.
