You are absolutely right. That means that America has to use the existing Israeli intelligence sources and merge that information with the enormous financial and military ressources it has. I'm sure they are already working 100% together. Israel's biggest handicap has been world public opinion against her. Today Israel should be praised and encouraged publicly to let those terrorists know what lies ahead for them. Whatever ideology and brainwashing has been used to perpetrate terror attacks like the recent ones, money is still the key to all this. There is plenty of money around the Gulf, given by certain allies of the USA,{Saudi Arabia,UAE,} to those terrorists, as a compensation and on the grounds that even those extremists are Muslims and mostly just to avoid internal problems in their Countries. Many in Saudi Arabia are opposed to the ruling family and finance Binladen in the hope of causing world chaos that will benefit their interests. Oil prices are bound to soar in these kind of situations and of course as a result world recession will make them richer, and us poorer. Unfortunatly, this is what is happening. That means also that war has to be fought on the economic side. US foreign policy has in recent years been playing too much the "nice guy" and the ally with Countries that stabs America in the back with a large smile. Too many European Countries are guilty also of indirectly encouraging, for economic reasons {oil,}dictators and non-democratic Countries in the Arab world, and not interfering strongly against the growth of terrorist groups in those countries. World policy in the Balkans has been a catastrophy and a nest for training terrorists. Selling blindly, for economic reasons, armement all over the world,can only turn back on the western world, even though we have to admit that they did not need sophisticated armement in the WTC attacks.
