Having put Osama out of the way early gives the U.S. plenty of options for years to come.

The War On Terrorism can go on as long as necessary, and be carried out anywhere. Then when the time is right, report that he was killed suddenly in a massive airstrike with no body, no witnesses, and no proof to the contrary.
Osama is dead when WE say he is dead.

Bush and the Team are doing a great job.

I hope your theory is true. It passes the plausibility test. Also answers a number of nagging questions such as why OBL hasn't been "rallying the troops" with interviews.
