Osama is Next

This editorial from the Toronto Sun is by Peter Worthington:

While the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi won't immediately change much in the insurgency in Iraq, what it does indicate is that Osama bin Laden is probably a dead man walking.
In terms of tactical planning and violent leadership, al-Zarqawi was probably more effective than bin Laden. While he apparently had several close calls, Zarqawi likely knew he could not escape forever.
His death in an air strike indicates that despite his ghost-like immunity, U.S. special forces were equally relentless in tracking him down.
As for Osama bin Laden, architect of 9/11, it's inevitable that someday he will be trapped and killed.
Be it months or years, it is going to happen.


I agree completely! While Americans soberly celebrate Zarqawi's demise, the terrorist must be shaking in their sandals, never knowing when a 500 lb JDAM will end their reign of terror. Who's afraid now?
