Why would this Palestinian try and kill Barack Obama http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080722/ts_afp/mideastconflictjerusalem_080722155314;_ylt=AkL8cNizE3OngtWFsasW_76s0NUE Obama is their best friend. If he is out of the picture, McCain would really go after Palestinie. And isn't it funny/great a civilian killed this guy. we need that in the US. See a crime. kill the guy.

1. Any American would be their enemy and I don't think they distinguish who these morons target , they are just after the publicity for the most part. That being the case, I don't think BO was the target.
2. They man who made the attempt is now getting his reward of 72 virgins. Where in the hell do these virgins all come from? And what do they do with them?
3. Obama was not targeted. Obama is a Muslim and a friend to Palestine.
4. Did you read the article? Try working on your reading comprehension and retention skills. Obama was not the target. The man was a resident of occupied Jerusalem, employee of an Israeli construction company, with no known terrorist ties. The sad thing is: This is going to hinder Palestinian people from getting construction jobs now for fear of more of the same.
