Oho, but I think the implication was there.
Seems to me, if the initial post wanted to engender a discussion of international reaction to the latest election, there would have been a disclaimer claiming that there shouldn't be any connection to reality regarding Iran's/Al-Queda's comments.
The Republicans did it in 04, same goes with the "cut and run" rhetoric. The initial post reeked of "See, the terrorists are happy that the Democrats won."
