Newly minted presidential candidate Barack Obama replied yesterday to the Australian prime minister, who declared that Al Qaeda is rooting for Obama.
"I think it's flattering that one of George Bush's allies on the other side of the world started attacking me on the day after I announced," Obama said of the low blow from Down Under.
Prime Minister John Howard said Obama's plan to withdraw troops by March 2008 would play into terrorists' hands. "If I were running Al Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory, not only for Obama but also for the Democrats," Howard said.
Obama noted that Australia has only 1,400 troops in Iraq.
"If he's ginned up to fight the good fight in Iraq, I would suggest that he calls up another 20,000 Australians and sends them to Iraq. Otherwise it's just a bunch of empty rhetoric," Obama said.
Obviously the Illinois senator can take care of himself.
But you think there's any chance John Howard and Rupert Murdoch could go to Iraq? They could be foxhole mates. It would solve a LOT of problems. (Hitler was sexually frustrated too.)
Oh of course, it's all true about Barack and the Dems and the Commies and shit. For the straight dope (and a laugh), read this post.
