McCain: Osama bin Laden and I agree on Iraq
David Edwards and Mike Sheehan / Raw Story | March 25, 2008
Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told supporters at a town hall meeting that he, top US commander in Iraq Gen. David Petraeus, and terror mastermind Osama bin Laden all agree about the Iraq war.
“As you probably know, an audiotape … was released where bin Laden said, and I have to quote bin Laden: ‘The nearest field of jihad today to support our people in Palestine … is the Iraqi field.’ He urged Palestinians and people of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to ‘help in support of their mujahideen brothers in Iraq which is the greatest opportunity and the biggest task.’”

McCain followed that with, “For the first time, I have seen Osama bin Laden and Gen. Petraeus in agreement, and that is, the central battleground in the battle against al-Qaeda is in Iraq today! That’s what bin Laden is saying, and that’s what Gen. Petraeus is saying, and that’s what I’m saying, my friends.”
The Arizona senator took a swipe at his fall election rivals using a condescending political slur often employed by President George W. Bush: “My Democrat [sic] opponents, who want to pull out of Iraq, refuse to understand what’s being said and what’s happening, and that is, the central battleground is Iraq in this struggle against radical Islamic extremism. And my friends, we’re succeeding.”
