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 for crippling America's economy through endless, costly foreign wars against Islamic insurgents.

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