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."
