You may have noticed decreased exposure of that elusive UBL (for the acronym challenged, that Usama Bin Laden). Seems that the master of terror (sorry Mr. Craven) has gone underground, disappeared, or died.

Let’s assume he is still alive ... CURSES, he got away. Well, sort of. More like, he’s on the run; and that is a very good thing.

If you are being astute as ever, you will also have noticed that Al Qaeda is less and less in the spotlight, and other terrorist conglomerates are emerging. That’s bad news ... sort of. What seems to really be happening is terrorist egos are getting them into trouble Where once we had UBL in our sights, we now have his protégé Muktad al Sadr. That is to say, major leaders are becoming more visible as they strike out on their own (cf. Papa John’s pizza).

And these guys are also on the run. Again, a good thing.

Think about it. In a football game the coach calls the play in the huddle. Imagine trying to tell people where to go while they’re running about. Chaos.

That is what we have done to UBL and his ilk (I said “ilk”). They are dodging, not attacking. They are on defense now, but it’s kind of like Pop Warner verses Tampa Bay Bucks, the only defense is to run away.
