I predict that A-Q will release a video soon, in which OBL will claim that the financial collapse of the US is due to his tactics of luring Bush into a drawn-out and expensive war costing perhaps a trillion dollar - not counting the cost of additional homeland security, the direct effect of the 9/11 attacks and the persistent economic friction caused by enhanced security measures. After all, he set out this goal in a previous video a few years ago, predicting that the US would collapse under the cost of pursuing its wars, just as the USSR did.
