HATED AL-QAEDA WEB SITE ENDORSES McCAIN---WASHINGTON POST

On Al-Qaeda Web Sites, Joy Over U.S. Crisis, Support for McCain

Al-Qaeda is watching the U.S. stock market's downward slide with something akin to jubilation, with its leaders hailing the financial crisis as a vindication of its strategy of crippling America's economy through endless, costly foreign wars against Islamist insurgents.

And at least some of its supporters think Sen. John McCain is the presidential candidate best suited to continue that trend.

"Al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming election," said a commentary posted Monday on the extremist Web site al-Hesbah, which is closely linked to the terrorist group. It said the Arizona Republican would continue the "failing march of his predecessor," President Bush.

The Web commentary was one of several posted by Taliban or al-Qaeda-allied groups in recent days that trumpeted the global financial crisis and predicted further decline for the United States and other Western powers. In language that was by turns mocking and ominous, the newest posting credited al-Qaeda with having lured Washington into a trap that had "exhausted its resources and bankrupted its economy." It further suggested that a terrorist strike might swing the election to McCain and guarantee an expansion of U.S. military commitments in the Islamic world.

VIDEO MONTAGE OF IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN WARS: MUSIC BLACK STONE CHERRY'S RAIN WIZARD

JOHN McCAIN blurted out today that "victory has been achieved in Iraq" and it was totally overlooked by the media, but I'm sure the troops seen in this video montage from IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN will be happy to know at least half of the two wars is over.

The video features music by Black Stone Cherry's Rain Wizard.
