I agree, but far as I'm concerned, taking out "senior" operatives doesn't matter too much if OBL is still out there. He'll simply promote someone else to fill the void and we'll be back where we started.

Also, bit of a minor point, but isn't the whole thing with Al Qaeda supposed to be about how individual cells are "decentralized" and can act autonomously? If so, how much does it really matter if they kill one of OBL's buddies?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're finding and killing these nutcases, but I think the benefit is overstated for political gain.
