Imagine this Hawk. Lets say columbia has a drug cartel and all the members of that cartel are meeting at a location that we learn about. We drop a 1,000 lb bomb on the meeting hall and there is no more cartel, just low level types scurrying around trying to figure out next steps. In a country like columbia where drugs are grown, it will take a while but a new cartel will arise. Now lets apply same logic to Pak tribal regions and al quaeda. Lets say we get all the al quaeda leaders in one location and do the same thing. They are all dead. And there is nothing like cocaine to get them going again in centralized fashion. As UW points out they are decentralized and other folks might try but the movement of monies is now restricted and entree into the terror game by bin laden #2 is unlikely and if tried probably will be caught early on. Thus al quaeda or cartel disappears and terror becomes less well funded, and less coordiated and thus easier to defeat. Thats been my point about getting bin laden being more than cosmetic or for PR purposes but the folks who cried for his scalp early and loud like UW and You wont admit that because it points to one of the great failures of the WOT. And just to be fair dems say they are for my policy but want no part of pakistan where obl is so they are just as disingenuous as UW and you.
