See the other thread (still active) about the British (of course) press story speculating that Ayman al-Zawahiri (Abu Ayman) did a deal with Obama via the Muslim Brotherhood back-channel Obama's been using (Code Pink people and Bill Ayers have been over to Egypt during the "relief flotilla" affair).
Obama gets OBL, Abu Ayman gets Egypt and the leadership of AQ, and when the Saudis are overthrown, he gets to become Protector of the Shrine Cities. What could be more mutually beneficial? Chicago politics, in the international arena.
Where is the other thread?
