CATO asks whether McCain's hot rhetoric is helping Al Qaeda recruit

From CATO:

Exalting terrorism - as John McCain does with his “gates of hell” talk - is precisely the wrong thing for a national leader to do. The country will be made more secure by deflating the world image of Osama bin Laden and making his movement less attractive. Our leaders mustwithdraw rhetorical power from terrorists by controlling their tongues.

Almost makes you wonder if John McCain's ambition is more important to him than America's victory.
