Bush Is Chicken!

At least that's what Iraq's al Qaeda leader is saying

 

Like the Republicans, al Qaeda is in desperate shape. Just as George Bush Jr. insists that US forces must stay in Iraq because the Terrorists™ are there and want them out, the “foreign fighter jihadist types” need the American presence to fight. Without the occupation, the Sunni Iraqis – Religious or Ba’athist – lose their incentive to harbor the jihadists who are now useful against the Americans.

In other words, if the US leaves, “al Qaeda in Iraq” is out of a job.

See, for example, “Zarqawi’s successor,” Abu Hamza al-Muhajer (aka Abu Ayyub al-Masri). He is so frightened that the recent Iraq Mandate election in the United States will lead to a withdrawal, he has released a tape railing against Bush, questioning his manhood and such, apparently hoping that a last ditch, call-you-chicken-in-front-of-your-girl-type insult will give Bush some fresh talking points to keep this farce/tragedy going.

It will probably work. From CNN:
