Hostage: Captors wanted Bush win

[sampsonblk]

I hope this gets posted over at freeperville soon. I'd love to know what they think about this:

'Georges Malbrunot, held hostage in Iraq with another French journalist for four months, says his captors wanted U.S. President George W. Bush re-elected because it would help promote their cause.

Malbrunot told CNN the Iraqi militants "need someone tough against them, it's like boxing."'

2. I think they mean aggressive...

in terms of sending troops, etc.

As in hard to chew, hard to swallow and hard to digest.

3. Of course. Bush is very good for terrorist recruitment

Didn't you see the free Bush-ad Bin Laden send?

Iraq never had terrorists. Now it has become their biggest recruiting station and the owe it to Bush. He's their man!
