Reports I am hearing here (US) indicate that Al Qaeda wants Bush to win. After all, Kerry has not said he will pull the troops out of Iraq immediately, but will stabilize the country and turn it into a functioning democracy BEFORE pulling out. Bush and his forces have shown themselves to be too incompetent to do this, most recently evidenced by the loss of huge cache of explosives which may be in Al Qaeda's hands right now. Al Qaeda LOVE having an incompetent administration in charge of the forces in Iraq, and therefore would want Bush for that reason alone. Add the reasons GUEST 27 Oct 04 - 05:30 PM mentioned above, and it's pretty clear that Bush would be better for Al Qaeda.

BTW, instead of insinuating and spreading misinformation, you can see what Kerry's ral plan for Iraq is. It's here.

an excerpt:

We must change course in Iraq. Having gone to war, we cannot afford to fail at peace. The United States must take immediate measures to prevent Iraq from becoming a failed state that inevitably would become a haven for terrorists and a destabilizing force in the Middle East.

John Kerry and John Edwards will make the creation of a stable and secure environment in Iraq our immediate priority in order to lay the foundations for sustainable democracy. That is the right way to get the job done and bring our troops home. John Kerry and John Edwards believe the following principles should guide American policy in Iraq right now and that if these steps are not taken, options in the future will become more limited. This needs to be an urgent agenda to:

    * Internationalize, because others must share the burden;
    * Train Iraqis, because they must be responsible for their own security;
    * Move forward with reconstruction because that's an important way to stop the spread of terror; and
    * Help Iraqis achieve a viable government, because it is up to them to run their own country.

Full plan is here.
