Mark Steyn says that Osama bin Laden
is deader than a doornail. Despite the fact that supposed al-Qaeda spokesmorons have been saying that he’s alive and well, the fact that neither bin Laden nor Ayman al-Zawahiri nor everyone’s favorite one-eyed nutball Mullah Omar have been seen or heard from in over six months notwithstanding. In fact,
there’s probably a good chance that bin Laden was splattered in a nice tête-à-warhead with a daisy cutter in some forgotten cave. There’s also a good chance that there wouldn’t be anything left of the body to find and identify. It doesn’t mean that al-Qaeda doesn’t pose a threat, but it does mean that our war on terror has been more successful than some would think.
