Al Qaeda Supporting McCain? Don’t Believe It

Yesterday the media tried to tell us that Al Qaeda was supporting John McCain for president.

But once again, they’re distorting the truth to cover for Barack Obama, picking one random post from an Islamic forum and calling it “Al Qaeda:” Al Qaeda Supporting McCain? No, Not Really.

The internet posting cited by the Washington Post is not an official statement by al-Qaeda’s media arm, al-Sahab. In fact it is little more than some “Ahmed from Amman” desktop jihadist trying to steel himself for a possible McCain victory. The media appears to be doing the same as well.
