Terrorists Support the Democrats

From a recent AP article:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: In a rare video message, Afghan insurgent leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar claims that American troops will be forced out of Afghanistan like the Soviets before them. The leader of the Hezb-e-Islami militant group also touts the Republican Party defeat in last month's U.S. midterm elections as a victory for militants fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. "It seems that every bullet that mujahedeen had fired toward the Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan has turned into a vote against Bush," Hekmatyar said in the undated video statement received by Associated Press Television in Pakistan. "There is no doubt that is a great victory and success for Afghan and Iraqi mujahedeen," he said. "I am convinced that the fate Soviet Union faced is awaiting America as well."

Militants in Afghanistan think that the Soviet Union crumbled because of there war with them. They are jubilant to see the Democrats win this year, and would love to see a Democrat President in 08'. I think the enemy's support for Democrats originates due to the following: 1. The terrorists know that American's cannot stomach a long drawn out war, even if there are few casualties. They have successfully used the American (world) media to their advantage. Democrats are much more likely to follow what is in their best political interest opposed to America's interest. Therefore if the American public has become disgruntled with the way the war is going, for whatever reason, the Democrats are more willing to abandon and change course with opinion. 2. They also know that Democrats are much less likely to finish the job that Republican's have started. Many Democrats are adamant about leaving Iraq already, regardless of the outcome. In their eyes any failures can be blamed on President Bush. 3. And along the same lines. Democrats are much more likely to fully pull out of Iraq. This will be a major moral victory to all insurgents in the Middle East. They will be able to say Allah helped them defeat the "Evil Empire." Terrorist, regardless of ideology, will support whomever will least impede their path to success. In this case it is clear who they support.
