Looks like the "Z" man wanted to be bigger than Bin Ladin. Nice to have him no longer with us!

...as is the Toronto group’s oldest member Qayyum Abdul Jamal, who at 43 is said to have never held a regular job.

Some of these guys are experts on blending in with the local community, I see.

He was arrested in Pakistan in October or November of 2005, and then disappeared into U.S. hands.

YES! I hope he's been waterboarded every day.

Sounds like Ted Kennedy.

Oh come on, like keeping the Senate bartender busy isn't a regular job.

Excellent article. And an excellent critique of network-centric warfare.

Someone needs to inform the goofball who writes this blog:

Hopefully, he's somewhere where proper Koran Handling Procedures are in effect.

The Jihadis have not yet formulated a strategy, of whatever generation, capable of matching the West’s overwhelming technological sophistication, organizational superiority, and preponderance of force.

True...but think of the damage ahMADinejad can wreak with a nuke that can reach Europe. Islam is fighting a long-term war of attrition. And, like communism, it has allies in the American left.

On Planet Bizarro, Teddy would be a driving instructor.

Actually, in "old time" islam, being on the dole is the honorable thing. To work is to help the infidel, but to be on the dole is like accepting the "jizya" (tribute paid by non-islamics to muslims so they, muslims, don't kill us infidels). Jizya is a kind of institutionalized protection racket in islam.

Here's some more from Clauswitz pertinent to the subject:

"The fact that slaughter is a horrifying spectacle must make us take war more seriously, but not provide an excuse for gradually blunting our swords in the name of humanity. Sooner or later someone will come along with a sharp sword and hack off our arms." - Karl von Clauswitz, On War, 1832.

"Admittedly, an aggressor often decides on war before the innocent defender does, and if he contrives to keep his preparations sufficiently secret, he may well take his victim unawares. Yet such surprise has nothing to do with war itself, and should not be possible. War serves the purpose of the defense more than that of the aggressor. It is only aggression that calls forth defense, and war along with it. The aggressor is always peace-loving (as Bonaparte always claimed to be); he would prefer to take over our country unopposed. To prevent his doing so one must be willing to make war and be prepared for it. In other words it is the weak, those likely to need defense, who should always be armed in order not to be overwhelmed. Thus decrees the art of war." - Karl von Clauswitz, On War, 1832.

Clauswitz Quoted.

The butcher and the strategist have been taken off the board. We will not see their like among the Islamists again soon.

The will to live trumps the desire to die.

Excellent! Thx.

Allahs warriors are bloody but, in their lying, they are oblivious to the truth. I suspect that both allah and his warriors will be sorely disappointed when they learn the true nature of their enemy.

The will to live trumps the desire to die.

And every living creature, large and small, knows that...except for the Destroyer (Apollyon/Abaddon) and his followers.

Muslims follow death and don't even have the good sense to ask why.

Where I hope he was quietly offed. We don't need to know what happened to him as long as he never sees the light of day again.

The butcher and the strategist have been taken off the board.

Along with numerous others, from lowly jihadist foot soldiers on up to near the very top. Haven't quite gotten them, yet, but I'm hoping we're finding ways to get operatives into the remote areas of Pakistan where OBL and company are said to be hiding.
