FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU
Mideast terror leaders
to U.S.: Vote Democrat
Withdrawal from Iraq would embolden
jihadists to destroy Israel, America

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
JERUSALEM – Everybody has an opinion about next Tuesday's midterm congressional election in the U.S. – including senior terrorist leaders interviewed by WND who say they hope Americans sweep the Democrats into power because of the party's position on withdrawing from Iraq, a move, as they see it, that ensures victory for the worldwide Islamic resistance.

The terrorists told WorldNetDaily an electoral win for the Democrats would prove to them Americans are "tired."

They rejected statements from some prominent Democrats in the U.S. that a withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency, explaining an evacuation would prove resistance works and would compel jihadists to continue fighting until America is destroyed.

They said a withdrawal would also embolden their own terror groups to enhance "resistance" against Israel.

"Of course Americans should vote Democrat," Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group and the infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, told WND.

"This is why American Muslims will support the Democrats, because there is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw from Iraq. It is time that the American people support those who want to take them out of this Iraqi mud," said Jaara, speaking to WND from exile in Ireland, where he was sent as part of an internationally brokered deal that ended the church siege.

Jaara was the chief in Bethlehem of the Brigades, the declared "military wing" of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party.

Together with the Islamic Jihad terror group, the Brigades has taken responsibility for every suicide bombing inside Israel the past two years, including an attack in Tel Aviv in April that killed American teenager Daniel Wultz and nine Israelis.

Muhammad Saadi, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin, said the Democrats' talk of withdrawal from Iraq makes him feel "proud."

"As Arabs and Muslims we feel proud of this talk," he told WND. "Very proud from the great successes of the Iraqi resistance. This success that brought the big superpower of the world to discuss a possible withdrawal."

Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hamas' military wing in the Gaza Strip, said the policy of withdrawal "proves the strategy of the resistance is the right strategy against the occupation."

"We warned the Americans that this will be their end in Iraq," said Abu Abdullah, considered one of the most important operational members of Hamas' Izzedine al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades, Hamas' declared "resistance" department. "They did not succeed in stealing Iraq's oil, at least not at a level that covers their huge expenses. They did not bring stability. Their agents in the [Iraqi] regime seem to have no chance to survive if the Americans withdraw."

Abu Ayman, an Islamic Jihad leader in Jenin, said he is "emboldened" by those in America who compare the war in Iraq to Vietnam.

"[The mujahedeen fighters] brought the Americans to speak for the first time seriously and sincerely that Iraq is becoming a new Vietnam and that they should fix a schedule for their withdrawal from Iraq," boasted Abu Ayman.

The terror leaders spoke as the debate regarding the future of America's war in Iraq has perhaps become the central theme of midterm elections, with most Democrats urging a timetable for withdrawal and Republicans mostly advocating staying the course in Iraq.

President Bush has even said he would send more troops if Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Baghdad, said they are needed to stabilize the region

The debate became especially poignant following remarks by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., the 2004 presidential candidate who voted in support of the war in Iraq. Earlier this week he intimated American troops are uneducated, and it is the uneducated who "get stuck in Iraq."

Kerry, under intense pressure from fellow Democrats, now says his remarks were a "botched joke."

Terror leaders reject Nancy Pelosi's comments on Iraqi insurgency

Many Democratic politicians and some from the Republican Party have stated a withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency there.

In a recent interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, stated, "The jihadists (are) in Iraq. But that doesn't mean we stay there. They'll stay there as long as we're there."

Pelosi would become House speaker if the Democrats win the majority of seats in next week's elections.

WND read Pelosi's remarks to the terror leaders, who unanimously rejected her contention an American withdrawal would end the insurgency.

Islamic Jihad's Saadi, laughing, stated, "There is no chance that the resistance will stop."

He said an American withdrawal from Iraq would "prove the resistance is the most important tool and that this tool works. The victory of the Iraqi revolution will mark an important step in the history of the region and in the attitude regarding the United States."

Jihad Jaara said an American withdrawal would "mark the beginning of the collapse of this tyrant empire (America)."

"Therefore, a victory in Iraq would be a greater defeat for America than in Vietnam."

Jaara said vacating Iraq would also "reinforce Palestinian resistance organizations, especially from the moral point of view. But we also learn from these (insurgency) movements militarily. We look and learn from them."

Hamas' Abu Abdullah argued a withdrawal from Iraq would "convince those among the Palestinians who still have doubts in the efficiency of the resistance."

"The victory of the resistance in Iraq would prove once more that when the will and the faith are applied victory is not only a slogan. We saw that in Lebanon (during Israel's confrontation against Hezbollah there in July and August); we saw it in Gaza (after Israel withdrew from the territory last summer) and we will see it everywhere there is occupation," Abdullah said.

While the terror leaders each independently urged American citizens to vote for Democratic candidates, not all believed the Democrats would actually carry out a withdrawal from Iraq.

Saadi stated, "Unfortunately I think those who are speaking about a withdrawal will not do so when they are in power and these promises will remain electoral slogans. It is not enough to withdraw from Iraq. They must withdraw from Afghanistan and from every Arab and Muslim land they occupy or have bases."

He called both Democrats and Republicans "agents of the Zionist lobby in the U.S."

Abu Abdullah commented once Democrats are in power "the question is whether such a courageous leadership can [withdraw]. I am afraid that even after the American people will elect those who promise to leave Iraq, the U.S. will not do so. I tell the American people vote for withdrawal. Abandon Israel if you want to save America. Now will this Happen? I do not believe it."

Still Jihad Jaara said the alternative is better than Bush's party.

"Bush is a sick person, an alcoholic person that has no control of what is going on around him. He calls to send more troops but will very soon get to the conviction that the violence and terror that his war machine is using in Iraq will never impose policies and political regimes in the Arab world."

    If WND knows who these terrorists are... why doesn't our C.I.A. know? Shouldn't we get a C.I.A. agent to pose as a WND reporter and set up an interview... and kill the sonovabitch?

    That's what I'm wondering. I say, put WND in charge of Anti-Terrorist Strike Forces and be done with it.

    crap, you beat me to it. this article is a joke. i love that WND has access to terrorist leaders that the CIA doesn't... and then says the DEMOCRATS want to give the terrorists safe harbor and let them go free.

    Funny. To most people, terrorists are lying murdering bastards who will say anything to get what they want. To most people, they shouldn't be believed - unless, of course, they tell you they want the Democrats to win, and then only if you're a conservative.

    Could it be they actually want the Republicans to win - so, knowing that everyone in America hates terrorists, they go out and endorse the Democrats?

    I know. I guess, Truth really is relative.
    ...
    If the terrorists Hate America:
    They publicly announce that they want the Democrats to win the election...
    Because they know that Americans hate Terrorists...
    So... if the Terrorists endorse the Democrats... good terrorist hating Americans will vote for Republicans.
    Which is what the terrorists really want... right?
    Dirty conniving terrorists.

    Exactly. Thus proving once and for all that we employ a terrorist as our leader.

    We continue to underestimate the enemy and believe they are so stupid as to make comments like this that quite obviously help the republicans if people actually believe it.

    The invasion of Iraq is terrorists greatest accomplishment. We look like bloodthirsty idiots.. the entire middle east is angry with us. and they have a place for fledgling terrorists to practice and get a taste for killing - while simultaneously seeing more than enough reason to believe the claims that the west are the land of the devil.

    of course someone is right about the other side being incredibly stupid.... Its scary to realize which side it is.

    terrorists? duh... its a made up hate word.. it should be bleeped out like the "N" word.

    terrorists? hell.. most of the terrorists in Iraq represent the United States...
  • Makes sense. Terrorists along with most of the free world, can't stand this administration, so they too want a change. Most people do hate their invaders. Doesn't mean I am voting Republican just to avoid the potential of terrorist acts. It's going to happen regardless of who is in office.

    Do you actually believe that any military action we take will lesson the likelyhood of a terrorist attack? The only way this Iraq war may prolong the time between random acts of terrorism - is that we are doing more damage to ourselves than any terrorist group could hope to.

    You know the more I think about that - the sadder it is. In fact I know people that would probably say they prefer our people being killed by our own stupidity then at the hands of some ugly foreigner...

    Likely even it is meany a significantly larger number....

    that is of course as long as its nobody they know and care about.

    That's tough talk coming from some trick who's living in exile in Ireland.

    The same people would be crying murder and genocide if we nuked Iraq.

  • I'm not exactly sure why terrorists would want the Democrats to win the election. If America pulls out of Iraq they would lose their recruiting base. After all, Bush is creating these terrorist.

    Well, they sure are acting like a Left Wing Liberal (a.k.a. JEW) Media outlet by meeting with these high ranking terrorist leaders and not killing them. Any Patriotic Right Wing Republican ameircan would kill these fuckers if given half the chance, right?

    so anyways,

    I think the point of the article is..is that we need to finish training the Iraqi security forces. Insurgent leaders don't want that to happen because that defines victory for our side. I really don't see why that's so hard for people to understand...that THATS the objective...to train the iraqi army and security forces. I really don't think Democrats even know it's going on. people like the clintons, and your schumers, all they want is power. hell, most of them have gone into hiding and don't even want to talk about iraq. i'll give it to you guys, at least you address the issues and express your opinions. i disagree with you beyond belief, but at least you express your beliefs and stand up for what you believe in. to do anything else is gutless.

    Train them? They need 300,000 Iraqi troops or so. I find it unlikey you'll find 1,500 Iraqis that are on the same side as the trainers... They are just looking for some protection from the chaos and for opportunities to gain intelligence to share with one of the many opposing sides.

    I know a few people that have been on the ground and a few that are there now. They are not any more likely to understand what is going on than you, me or the US Congress.

    so there's NO progress being made in training iraqi soldiers? i don't think that's the case.

    I didn't say that. We are providing training to Iraqis. we are providing weapons and food too. However, It doesn't seem that if ever they are left to their own devices, that they will act as we expect them to. We are training people who's alegances belong to several different interests. We can only direct their actions with a strong presence.

    Once we leave - regardless how long we wait - and make these people suffer - they will go their own way. There will be some civil war battles - and Iraq with begin to recover. For now - its just a severly weakend country struggling to survive the occupation.

    i just think that's blatently ignoring the goal...and that's with all due respect b/c you are clearly knowledgeble about the situation. research has show that people will accept democracy if they are convinced that they have a voice, and people need security from everyday thugs, i think we are making progress...unfortunately, the media is fixated on death tolls instead of reporting news, so i'm not so up to date as i should be.
