Of course terrorists would rejoice at Obama win

Was Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King on the mark last week when he
asserted Islamic terrorists would rejoice if Sen. Barack Obama
becomes the next U.S. president?

As a journalist and author who has conducted dozens of on-the-record
interviews with Muslim terrorists, including with some of the most
notorious Palestinian terror leaders, and who has documented many of
those interviews in a recently released, 210-page book, "Schmoozing
with Terrorists," I can answer the above question with a resounding
"yes."

Terrorists worldwide would indeed be emboldened by an Obama election
victory not so much because of the senator's middle name – Hussein –
or because of his family background, but because terrorists know many
of Obama's policies would translate into victory for the global jihad
movement.

Obama has made clear he favors a swift American withdrawal from Iraq,
direct dialogue with Iran – the largest state sponsor of terrorism –
and a more "evenhanded" approach toward the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict.

What do the terrorists think about these policies? Well, I recently
asked them:

Ramadan Adassi, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades terror group in the
West Bank's Anskar refugee camp, pointed to Obama's rise to stardom
as "an important success. He won popularity in spite of the Zionists
and the conservatives."

Abu Hamed, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the northern Gaza Strip,
explained the Democrat candidates' anti-war positions "prove that
important leaders are understanding the situation differently and are
understanding the price and the consequences of the American policy
in Iraq and in the world."

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