"With Iraq’s oil wealth under the control of bin Laden and Zarqawi, al Qaeda would have a free hand to promote insurgency movements against the governments of the United States and our allies in the region, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Israel. Bin Laden’s dream of establishing a new Caliphate under his control would be well on its way to reality."

I do hope without any malice intended. Believe me. Some of our FR membership stop fighting with some of us that try to expain with so many valid points that Abu is not only still very dangerouse, but that in most likelyhood he is still the guy running the show in Iraq, and not some mysterious Baghadi smaggy guy of unknown origin.
Though in a blink of an eye if some Saddamist choice to have him wiped out, chances it would happen within days.
