Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King wants to weigh in on the presidential election Let's take a listen:
An Iowa Republican congressman said Friday that terrorists would be "dancing in the streets" if Democratic candidate Barack Obama were to win the presidency.
Rep. Steve King based his prediction on Obama's pledge to pull troops out of Iraq, his Kenyan heritage and his middle name, Hussein.
"The radical Islamists, the al-Qaida … would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror," King said in an interview with the Daily Reporter in Spencer.
King said his comments were not meant to demean Obama but to warn how an Obama presidency would look to the world.
"His middle name does matter," King said. "It matters because they read a meaning into that."
This is the same man who in 2006, while speaking of death of terrorist leader Musab al-Zarqawi, said "There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell he's at. And if there are, they probably all look like (veteran White house correspondent) Helen Thomas."
The same man who described Abu Ghraib as "what amounts to hazing."
