Mq, depriving Osama bin Laden of his miserable life would do nothing to stop the tidal wave of Islamic radicalism. To the contrary, they may find it desirable to have one more high profile martyr.

On the other hand, dealing al Qaeda a devastating defeat in Iraq was an act of historic importance. Al Qaeda failed to deliver, they got their arse kicked - and they were rejected by the Iraqis, along with their methods. Al Qaeda suffered great humiliation.

I have little doubt that al Qaeda leadership considered the possibility of an US invasion in Afghanistan following 9/11. I'm not sure they expected the US to embark on the Iraqi campaign. In any case, they decided to make Iraq into another Vietnam for the US. They lost.

Pakistan is indeed a nuclear power. The more reason for Senator Obama to refrain from trying to destabilize that nation by making idiotic comments.
