Dailey is referred to by the author as the commanding general. His obstinance and malfiescence is all featured in the books "Not a Good day to Die" and "Cobra II'. The fact he is in that role is a much greater threat to this country than AQ.

It's not even a failed-state. We need to go in there on the ground and end this mess. It's pretty clear now that there is no effective government there and there never has been.

Bin Laden is not the operations leader of Al Qaeda and the Al Qaeda leadership have been on the run long before Sept11th. This is just weak propaganda which is a poor excuse for why they still haven't captured Zawahiri, Bin Laden or even Mullah Omar. "Though he's a political appointee who may not keep his job in an Obama administration" Time to salvage some credibility and future job prospects by making unsubstantiated claims then!

Not so much because he's in control--he isn't--but he's still the Old Man of the Mountains. Young up-and-comers will still want his blessing and approval, to give them status as they jockey for position with other up-and-comers. Of course, every time a young up-and-comer tries to contact the Old Man, that tells us something about the nature and location of the up-and-comer, as well as of the Old Man. So who do we pick off? The Old Man? No, he's not a threat. But the up-and-comer is. And the Old Man's the means by which we can potentially find out who and where the up-and-comers are, and what they're planning. Keeping Bin Laden alive has advantages to the U.S. and not the tin-foil-hat kind. As long as Bin Laden’s still alive, his subordinates will keep trying to contact him.

He has been dead for years now. Our government is not inrested in "capturing" him because they know he is already dead. They want to keep the myth alive though because it helps to justify the loss of civil liberties & freedom that we have all suffered. Your 90 year grandma is felt up by TSA because they don't want to be accused of "profiling." Your wife's breasts are being squeezed by these morons because of the same lame excuse that they don't want to be accused of "profiling." This whole thing is total BS. Oh P.S.,please somebody show me liquid explosives that can be made out of breast milk & soft drinks. What another moronic scam being played out on government school(public school) educated saps.
