The typical liberal will take the terrorists' approval of a candidate as evidence that, if that candidate is elected, the terrorists will stop their attacks, start talks and we'll all be happy friends. Your theory would be sound if the mindset were different, but it is not. Good theories based on erroneous assumptions are still false.

You know, if I were trying to influence the elections of a nation, and there were mutual animosity between myself and this nation, I would endorse the candidate I wanted to <I>lose</I>. Then, all the suckers (that'd be you) would take me as sincere and dutifully vote against my stated, insincere preference, thereby placing the candidate I actually prefer into office. But... *shrug* Maybe these folks who have been keeping bin Laden safe and sound for almost 7 years are a little slow, and just don't have the brain power requisite to come up with such a carefully nuanced strategy.
