It said the Arizona Republican would continue the &#8220;failing march of his predecessor,&#8221; President Bush.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You heard right. Al-Qaeda is endorsing John McCain for President. And it isn&#8217;t hard to figure out why (but we&#8217;ll explain anyway):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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 &#8220;exhausted its resources and bankrupted its economy.&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaeda,&#8221; said the posting, attributed to Muhammad Haafid, a longtime contributor to the password-protected site. &#8220;Al-Qaeda then will succeed in exhausting America.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>By the way, AL QAEDA, America can bankrupt itself without your help.
