Aussie PM: Obama and Dems Best Hope For Al Qaeda

Of course, he was only stating the obvious.

From the Gray Whore, Australian prime minister John Howard explains the problem with Obama's "plan" to withdraw all US troops on March 31, 2008:

In a television interview in Australia, Mr. Howard said the senator’s redeployment plan would simply inspire insurgent violence in Iraq.

“If I were running Al Qaeda in Iraq,” Mr. Howard said, “I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory not only for Obama but also for the Democrats.”

Obama responded by mocking the number of Australian troops in Iraq.
