Not like this matters, but what if they had endorsed
Obama? You'd never hear the end of it.
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.
To keep their recruiting going, Al-Qaeda need a knucklehead to continue the massive failings of the Bush Administration.
"The idea in the jihadist forums is that McCain would be a faithful 'son of Bush' -- someone they see as a jingoist and a war hawk," said Adam Raisman, a senior analyst for the Site Intelligence Group, which monitors Islamist Web pages. "They think that, to succeed in a war of attrition, they need a leader in Washington like McCain."
