Now that it’s over and the lunatics will be running the asylum one thing is clear, from now on Al Qaeda gets to set the agenda. There is no doubt that Osama Bin Laden will be releasing a tape to address this victory.
With a win for the Democrats, get ready for a repeal of the Patriot Act, or an attempt at it. The Democrats will move to defund the operations in Iraq by a certain date to force a phased redeployment. This will play right into Bin Laden’s game plan.
Michael Scheuer, a 22-year veteran with the CIA who created and served as the chief of the agency’s Osama bin Laden unit at the Counter Terrorist Center counts this as another victory for Bin Laden.
“If Americans vote for what sounds like sweet reason from the Democrats, bin Laden and company will rejoice. What they will hear is the death knell for any prospect of effective U.S. military resistance to militant Islam. With the Republicans out, the Islamists will be confident that Democrats will deliver the best of both worlds: less emphasis on military force and a rigid maintenance of U.S. foreign policies that are hated with passion and near-unanimity by 1.3 billion Muslims. If Osama approved of music, he would be whistling “Happy Days Are Here Again!”
