Also this week, there were reports that a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan on Monday may have killed al Qaeda bomb-making and poisons expert Abu Khabab al-Masri, who was previously reported killed in 2006.
This is great! We get to kill these suckers over and over again. "Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once." William Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar," Act 2, Scene II. The full speech:
CAESAR
Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard.
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.
It always seemed telling to me that AQ founders and leaders like Zawahiri and bin Laden do everything possible to avoid death, while preaching to their followers that paradise and 72 virgins await jihadists doing Mohammed's supposed bidding.
Shakespeare's Ceasar had it exactly right. Such men are COWARDS. They will die many times before their deaths.
