It could be (that no further attacks are coming). Who knows? The point is, that he has the initiative and gets to choose where and when, at least until his havens and/or sponsors are wiped out. An attack on Afghanistan would be extremely costly, in terms of men and material, it would almost certainly require a ground invasion to take him out. We weren't able to do that to Saddam in the Gulf War or with Milosevic in Serbia, what makes you think we'll succeed this time?Moreover, BinLaden's "success" here will probably win him the sponsorship of additional rogue nations (ie, Iraq), and expand Osama's sanctuaries. It ain't gonna be easy. Much harder than the entire Gulf War, IMO. And even if we get him, that's not necessarily the end of it.
