#1 Thats no surpise, given Osama's personal descriptions of Islamic History + Regional, Muslim military traditions.

Again, his son whom had escaped from the SEALS at Abbottabad is still too young, espec by MilTerr standards, to be installed as Osama's + "Core" AQ's Heir-Leader yet, + also by most MSM-Net accounts ZAWAHIRI is curren in favor of more fluidity = decentralization of AQ's ranks + leadership for time being, as a matter of post-Osama org survival.

Radical Islam's modus appears to be in ACTIVE DEFENSE MODE, i.e. initiating SELECTIVE, SUCCESSFUL OR EFFECTIVE ATTACKS WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF REBUILDING.

I would like to find out where "Crown Prince" HAMZA BIN LADEN is, espec as per CENTRAL ASIA + EAST ASIA - iff he is as dedic to the Radical Islamist cause as daddy-o Osama was, then IMO he will be angered + inspired enough to carry on the fight unto total victory [start circa Year 2018 - after]. He will still have to contend wid any and all "interim" leaders between now + then.

AGAIN, THE MOST DANGEROUS PERIOD/PHASE OF THE GWOT, FOR THE US-WORLD + RADICAL ISLAM, LIES AHEAD OF US, NOT BEHIND US - I SEE LITTLE IN OSAMA'S PASSING TO CHANGE THIS.

* MSM-NET > POST-OSAMA/ABBOTTABAD AQ + MILITANT GROUPS = DESPITE HIS NAME + IMPORTANCE, OSAMA IS JUST A MAN + LEADER AMONGST MANY, ISLAM'S FOCII IS ALLAH [God] + FAITH, SERVICE, LOYALTY THERETO, NOT PERSONAGES.

At the rate we've been tracking them down, young Master Hamza may have no playmates left in this particular sandbox, JosephM. They're mobbing police stations, we're hitting Number Threes with those cute little UAV missiles.
