Zarqawi Announces Allegiance to Bin Laden

Earlier today, Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad group announced on the Internet that bin Laden is "the best leader for Islam's armies against all infidels and apostates" and declared allegiance to al-Qaeda.

And also today, as if this news were not common knowledge, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated:

"I consider the activities of terrorists in Iraq are not as much aimed at coalition forces but more personally against President Bush," Putin said at a news conference after a regional summit in the Tajik capital, Dushanbe.

"International terrorism has as its goal to prevent the election of President Bush to a second term," he said. "If they achieve that goal, then that will give international terrorism a new impulse and extra power."

Therefore, one can reasonably assume that President Bush is considered to be the greatest threat to the goals of fundamental Islamists. The Electoral College Breakdown might need to note that the world's murdering terrorists appear to be Leaning Towards Kerry. (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin)
