Weak, Jaybaugh, very weak. The "old reverse psychology" approach, eh? Given the method Osamma used to beat the Russians and how well they have managed to bait us into the same kind of "war of attrition" I think this is one of those situations where the principle of "Occam's Razor" fits the best. Al Qaeda says they support McCain. There is clear logic for why they would. It requires a complicated construction of "reverse psychology" to conclude they really meant Obama and not McCain. Therefore the unsupported and unnecessarily complex "reverse psychology" explanation is likely not valid. But you already knew that.
