Barrack Obama is so brown (5)

Obama is so scary, even the Australian Prime Minister is freaking out:

"If I was running al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and pray, as many times as possible, for a victory not only for Obama, but also for the Democrats."

Now, I'm not one to get all pissy when people comment on the domestic politics of nations in which they are not a citizen. It doesn't really bother me, we're all stuck on this planet together and domestic politics often have non-domestic effects. So even though I'm no Australian I don't think it is wrong of me to say that John Howard is even more of a shit house pommy bastard than Bush's better known poodle. That out of the way, does anyone honestly believe that al Qaeda wants the US out of Iraq? The US occupation of Iraq has been a recruiting and training bonanza, it's a goldmine for them. The continuing inability to recognize this is completely shocking to me.
