Kerry Must Be Defeated, Part II

Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch agrees with Paul Johnson:

. . . will that keep Osama from proclaiming that a Kerry victory is a victory for the global jihad and the assumption of dhimmi status by the USA? Don't bet on it.

Why does that matter? Some will say, of course, that there won't be any victory for the global jihad, no matter which candidate wins: both have pledged to fight terrorists. True, but nonetheless it matters a great deal.

The perception that America has followed Spain into dhimmitude could become the cause of a worldwide explosion (so to speak) of jihadist activity from mujahedin who have renewed evidence to believe that they are facing a paper tiger - just as Osama himself did after the Black Hawk incident in Somalia.
