John McCain worries about al Qaeda on campaign trail

Republican presidential candidate John McCain spoke Friday in Philadelphia of his worry that anti-American extremists might attempt spectacular attacks in Iraqi to try and tilt the election against him.

“And I know they pay attention because of intercepts,” said McCain, adding: “We still have the most lethal explosive devices coming across the border form Iran into Iraq. We still have suicide bombers landing at the airport in Damascus and coming into Iraq as we speak. So I would not be surprised if they made an attempt. I believe we can counter most of it as we are countering them,” said the Republican presidential candidate.


I don't know, but it seems as if an attack were to occur it would bolster his chances as he's vastly more experienced in foreign policy

Same as the Bin Laden tapes boosting Bush's profile before the last election
