Who would the terrorists like to see as our next president...Obama or McCain?

Question

Who do you think the terrorists see as more vulnerable?

Answer 1

I think Obama because he wants to reduce military like Clinton did, then we weren't as prepared for war. I know that the Iraq war was a bit of a misfire, but after 9/11 someone was going to get it and they should have in Desert Storm, if not then, when Clinton bombed the aspirin factory for whatever reason.  

Answer 2

I'd say McCain.  After all, he and Bush haven't chased them down for years now because they've been busy with Iraq.

Answer 3

I don't think they really care. If they are going to try to hurt us it wont matter who is the head of the country. They will just try to get it done.

Answer 4

Obama, mainly bacause I think many rank and file terrorists might see him to be more open to negations because of his Islamic upbringing. And I'm sure their leaders figure Barack Obama is not only inexperienced as a leader but more prone to buckle under pressure.

I don't really like John McCain either but he definitely has more experience in military affairs. His Viet Nam War experiences have to count for something.

Answer 5

I think they'd like to kill both of them.

However, Obama's rhetoric about "engaging" and "talking" to our enemies would probably sound more attractive than McCain rhetoric of fighting them.

Answer 6

Since the HAMAS political adviser Ahmed Yousef endorsed Obama and terrorist sympathizers like Jimmy Carter and Michael Moore have too, I think the answer to this question is obvious.

Answer 7

McCain, obviously.

He is the one who prefers to leave troops where the terrorists aren't...

Answer 8

McCain...he would help with recruiting efforts. The more warmongering we are, the more people will sign up to attack us.

Answer 9

I don't think it matters, if a terrorist has the money and resources to execute an attack he will regardless of security measures.

Answer 10

"Be Afraid... Be very afraid.... "

LOL

I think the terrorist (Bush) would rather see McCain as our next president.

Answer 11

Of course they prefer Obama. They already shown their support for him, repeatedly. Plus, Obama is very friendly with terrorists (like Ayers) and anti American leaders (like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad). To point that out we could even say "Obama bin Laden"!

Answer 12

officially,  I don't think this question makes much sense....

but I do tend to laugh to myself when I think about a terrorist being intimidated by a weak old man and a hockey mom.  

Answer 13

Obama.  A peace-loving newbie.

Answer 14

I don't think it's a matter of vulnerability. We can't track down every terrorist, because terrorism is a tactic, not a belief. If it's Obama will get out of the Middle East more quickly which is what they want. If it's McCain, we'll stay over there forever, which will give them more excuses to attack us for our invasion and interference.

Answer 15

they don't care. to ask such question is naive at best, retarded at worst.

Answer 16

THEY DON'T CARE.

Terrorists do not care about diplomacy or our politics. They want to drive us, and Israel, out of the Middle East. They want to kill us all, and wipe us from the face of the earth.

This small-minded view of the world will not help us fight them.

Answer 17

Obama. I don't think any terrorist relishes the idea of threatening the USA under McCain. He has made it clear that he won't stand for any c**p. Obama will ask them to discuss it over tea and cookies.  

Answer 18

Is this a leading question? You are expecting us to say they will be knocking their knees together and biting their nails at the thought of McCain? Were talking about grown men and women who have grown up in an inhospitable, hostile, confusing, war torn, blood soaked arena. I don't see anyone short of Rambo or John Wayne intimidating them. I think Obama doesn't seem as gritty as McCain, but it's not like there's going to be a high noon scenario where Obama will be set in the streets of some dusty, middle-eastern town town while a tumble weed blows by and his itchy trigger finger and keen eyesight will scare the c**p out of them. I haven't got the picture at all that they're scared of George Bush. Maybe we could send them some of our Rambo and John Wayne movies to intimidate them. What are we going to do?  a nuclear detonation on the Bora Bora mountains? I don't know if we skip asking Pakistan if that's OK, first?? It's not like we OWN  the world. The world is our big soccer field and all the games are predictable, logical, fair and the winner really wins at the end, if there is an "end." Oh yeah, if McCain's elected I'm sure they will be pissing themselves because we are so "tough." Get real. They feel they have nothing to loose. I am not against our troops in Iraq, but doing things the "John Wayne" style does not necessarily spell victory. There may be some pride, dignity, an honor in that, but if losing is an option along with that equation then I guess everyone will be happy.  So if they're not afraid of him, who are they going to be afraid of and should we care? Is that really a worthwhile question to ask? I think we need effective policies and strategies not just a bunch of predictable political posturing and swagger. Picking a president based on an intimidation factor alone seems questionable as to really how effective that strategy is going to work. Maybe if we were electing Atilla the Hun, Hitler, etc. intimidation alone might be effective to some degree, but to just throw that out there like some naive child and think on the basis of that alone all our problems will drift away I think is a foolish perspective to take given the stakes.

Answer 19

Obama... he will sit down to lunch with them.

Answer 20

Certainly they'd go with McCain, since he is perceived as being another Bush.

Answer 21

McCain so they can get America spread out all over the world. ANd keep us from uniting with our allies to fight them together
