#2 What we fail to remember is that there are not unlimited degrees of freedom for the AQ. Sure a "failure" is a win for the islamo-turds, but failure also reveals patterns in their approaches to terror...and patterns increase the opportunity for the good guys to anticipate. I suggest that accumulation of failures will lead to their ultimate demise as they are forced to take increasingly greater risks.

#4 The comment line from FARK on this summed it up nicely.

"Unlike the TSA, CIA, FBI, Federal Government, and Geek Squad technicians, Al Queda learns from their mistakes."
