Captives: Terrorists hoped for Bush re-election

Two French journalists who were held hostage in Iraq told a British documentary program that their captors believed George W. Bush's re-election as US president would help radicalize Iraqis.

Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot, who were seized in August and released after four months, told the British Broadcasting Corp.'s "Panorama" program that they were allowed to interview the leader of an Islamic militant cell within the group that seized them.

"We felt we were on planet bin Laden," Malbrunot said on the program, which airs
Wednesday night.

The cell leader trained with terror leader Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and told them the insurgents supported a Bush presidency because they believed it meant that "there will be confrontation, occupation and radicalization of the Iraqi people," Malbrunot said.

Of course, anyone who thinks logically knew this - it was obvious! Everyone sane who has a blog talked about this, and i seem to remember that this idea even briefly (very briefly) made it to TV! Of course they would want bush in power - he's their biggest recruiting tool ever and he does exactly what they want him to! Why would they want someone in power who actually planned to track them down and take them out and who would have brought the world together against them (Kerry), rather than bringing the world together against the US (bush)?
