Sound ridiculous?

Al Qaeda’s leader in Iraq called for the kidnapping of Westerners to swap for a Muslim cleric jailed in the United States, according to an Internet audio tape issued on Thursday.

He’s referring to the “Blind Sheikh,” Omar Abdul Rahman who is serving time in a Colorado prison for seditious conspiracy in planning to set off five bombs in 10 minutes, blowing up the United Nations, the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the George Washington Bridge and a federal building housing the FBI.

Since we’re being led to believe that the actions pursued by the Bush administration - namely that we’re fighting terrorists in Iraq - has led to an increase in terrorism, simply because terrorists are using Iraq as this month’s excuse-du-jour, we can make the same logical leap that the conviction and imprisonment of Rahman, which is providing the pretext for this new terror threat, is itself fueling an increase in terrorism because of the latest threat. Allah points to this entry in Wikipedia - supporting this idea:

Rahman’s imprisonment “has become a rallying point for Islamic militants around the world, including Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.”

Some will claim blaming Clinton is ridiculous… but those would be the same people that fail to acknowledge that terrorists need no rationale for their actions - and yet blame Bush for increasing terrorism by going on the offensive militarily. Whether we nuke Mecca or sit back and take no action anywhere, the islamofascists still want us all dead because we do not subscribe to their warped religion. We could pull every soldier out of every foreign land, donate billions of dollars to polish the marble floors of every islamic mosque, move every Israeli citizen to new apartments in Idaho and go on about life in an American vaccuum… and the islamofascists would still want to murder everyone of us because we’re infidels.
