Now, look, we should not make choices among candidates based on this sort of thing, but gosh, this is probably going to result in some awkwardness in the White House:
Before his death, Osama bin Laden boldly commanded his network to organize special cells in Afghanistan and Pakistan to attack the aircraft of President Obama and Gen. David H. Petraeus.
“The reason for concentrating on them,” the al-Qaeda leader explained to his top lieutenant, “is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make [Vice President] Biden take over the presidency. . . . Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the U.S. into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour . . . and killing him would alter the war’s path” in Afghanistan.

Well, OBL also thought that 9/11 would result in the U.S. fearfully pulling away from its Middle East allies, thus allowing the Taliban to take over Saudi Arabia and other Western-friendly Arab countries. My point is that bin Laden's assessment of the world had much to be desired.
ReplyDeleteStill, if he thought that about Biden, one wonders what he would have thought of Vice President Sarah Palin.
Ha! The one thing that probably keeps Obama alive the most in America (the thought of Biden taking over) was the thing that would get him killed by our enemies.
