Looks like the "Z" man wanted to be bigger than Bin Ladin. Nice to have him no longer with us!
Some of these guys are experts on blending in with the local community, I see.

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.
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.

"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.
The will to live trumps the desire to die.
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.
Bump.
bump for later read.

We need a small, self-contained unit, dedicated to handling this problem alone...
Good Article. Thanks for posting.

We are only at the very beginning of "perpetual war" -- a "100 Years War" if you will. Be ready for the long-haul. It's a war of civilizations and the Islamics are ready to go to the mat -- with WMD and lots of killing.
I don't know if the West has the stomach for it -- or will "give-in" and become dhimmi, along with the formation of Eurabia and the Islamic flag flying over the White House.
It looks like the run-up to the Armageddon scenario for sure. Be ready for the hellfire and brimstone.

This was a good article. But one thing struck me ironically:
"They will not listen. They will ignore instructions. They will overlook details. They will be overemotional. They will sulk and feud. They will create a mental narrative, romantic and wild, a Bruce Willis feature with themselves in the starring role, and act on that rather than any stodgy plan. And when things go wrong, they will panic."
Reminds me of the type who hang around DU, which, although we laugh at times, peole like that can cross some threshhold where violence seems the right action.
It makes me glad that I am not 15 or 20 now. I expect darker days ahead.
