Leaving OBL alive is actually part of the strategy and a good idea. It is much more effective to attack the mid-level managers and take them out (as we have been doing). This cuts off the control from the top to the bottom so they must continually "pulse" the network to reestablish communications and thus identify the bottom layer.

Two If you take out the top some one from the mid level will rise to the top , there seems no shortage of this.

I like our strategy and it can win.

Whether Binny's alive or dead, it's in the best interests of security to keep him alive, because otherwise the Kerry-ites will declare the entire world war won, call for a massive retreat, and invite more attacks

I've always really liked your idea here, C184.

With bin Laden as an excuse, we can pretty well go any place at any time to do any thing against any group of terrorists.

All we have to say is: "bin Laden sighting."
