Life Imitates Snark

A statement from the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, who claims responsibility for 11-M, was released today (via Atrios):

The statement said it supported President Bush in his reelection campaign, and would prefer him to win in November rather than the Democratic candidate John Kerry, as it was not possible to find a leader "more foolish than you (Bush), who deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom."

In comments addressed to Bush, the group said:

"Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the Arab and Muslim nation as civilization."

"Because of this we desire you (Bush) to be elected."

So will the wingers now say we should vote for Bush because the terrorists want him to win? The battle of wits has begun:

Me - Now a clever terrorist would endorse the man they don't want to win, because he would know that only a great fool would vote for whomever AQ endorsed. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the candidate AQ endorsed. But they must have known I was not a great fool, they would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the candidate they did not endorse.

OBL - Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Wait till I get going! Where was I?
