CLARKE: Well, Charlie Black knows a lot about politics but he doesn’t know much about terrorism. If he did, he would know that Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and all the al Qaeda leadership, watch U.S. politics very closely. We’ve even had cases where in interviews, bin Laden quoted opinion polls from European public opinion polls.
So, yes, they understand that they can manipulate politics as they tried to in the Spanish election with the attacks there. And to say, “Yes, you can manipulate our politics, come and do it,” is an invitation that the McCain campaign shouldn’t be anywhere near.
I want to know something else about this statement. Besides inviting terriorists to come in and kill Americans ths in in essence affect the election, how would that help McCain? Wouldn't that mean that McCain failed to keep America safe?
Wouldn't that also mean, Republicans want Americans killed for political gain?
