That's the shoe I've been dreading the dropping of. I mean, they're already blowing up pipelines when they can. I understand that's dropped off a lot in large part because of a program initiated my Chalabi (?!?) to train locals to guard the pipelines at one mile intervals.

The part about OBL being alive and providing an inspiration to jihaddists everwhere reminds me of the old line that goes something like, "If you strike at a king, be sure you kill him." The point being, I think, that surviving such attacks adds legendary status to said king.

I for one though, am glad we went after the true terrorists in Iraq. No oil in Afghanistan anyway.
