How long do you give this guy to live now that he's been ID'd?

Depends on if it is truly still in Iraq (or very likely could be in Syria).

I'm sure the CIA is trying to the WGS 84 coordinates of his hideouts as we post on this thread.

I thought Al-Masri was killed with Zarqawi.

Save that picture so we can put it next to the "all blowed up" picture that will come later.

Hopefully the next time he is mentioned the headline will be "U.S. Identifies The Body of the Successor to Zarqawi".

The real riot may be if we are misleading AQ/Saddamist etc., into thinking we think this clown is the new Emir of death, where we know it is someone else.

Step 1: Successor identified
Step 2: Successor's location identified with X on map
Step 3: Take 500 pound bomb and drop at location marked X
Step 4: New successor bubbles up to the top
Step 5: Next bomb please.

What would be nice is if we can unload a 83L or 84L on whoever it turns out to be. Really make a tremedouse boom. But I realize damage must be keep to a minimum to recover hard disks, and other stuff from the hole.

"Step 4: New successor bubbles up to the top."

Perhaps we are in the mist of witnessing a new technique, call it the bubble effect

I think al Qaeda doesn't really know who its new leader is. After all, who decides? And what if some of the other contenders and their followers disagree with the choice? The REAL riot would be if WE are the ones appointing this guy the new head, and the confused rank-and-file buys it simply because it's the clearest of the many conflicting messages they're receiving on the subject. Our military and CIA are pretty good at psy-ops -- I wouldn't put this past them. He's already well-known, so he's a plausible choice. What if we chose him because he's the only serious contender that we know we can locate and take out quickly?

Oddly, DebkaFile doesn't seemed to have weighed in on this announcement yet.
