Capturing or killing would be a benifit to all of mankind, just as it would be with any homicidal madman. This reporter is nothing but a manure salesman with a mouthful of samples.

So the media is who kept on asking "Why Bush hasn't gotten Bin Laden" is now saying when they get him it won't matter???????

Wrong, really wrong. When Saddam Hussein meekly surrendered the Arab world went into mourning over his capture and his lack of resistance, to the point of denial. Iraqi resistance against the coalition has been subdued in a major way.

Ending terrorism requires more than targeting terrorists, their leaders, or their organizations. It requires recognizing and defeating the body of ideas known as militant Islam or Islamism. The war cannot be won until politicians and others focus on this ideology rather than on terrorism, which is merely its manifestation.

John Kerry is not up to that task. Not by a long shot.

Getting OBL won't end the war on terror, but it sure is one of a series of requirements for ending it.

This said, Mr. bin Laden's capture or death could indeed have a major beneficial impact on the war on terror — by helping to re-elect President Bush against his presumptive Democratic opponent

Indeed

Even Pipes seems to be going soft in fingering the Saudis.

Daniel Pipes bump for later read!

Pipes is right on. One has to go after the root of this terror, militant Islam. The root being those infrastructures poisining the minds of children the day they are born. If this does not occur, and there is simply a focus on the action (i.e. terror), the war on terror will never end.

Mr. Kerry goes so far as to claim that America is worse off now than on September 11, 2001.

Mr. Kerry's roots are showing here; that is, he is now what he was in 1971: a two-bit political manipulator who will say absolutely anything in pursuit of power.
