Are you under the impression that killing an Al Qaeda leader means that there is no longer an Al Qaeda leader?
The guy killed yesterday has probably already been replaced, and when that guy is killed, there will be someone to replace him too. How do you get from pointing that out to "cut and run?"

maybe not. But there's a reason people further down the food chain are further down the food chain.
For all you know (I hope) there's a power struggle going on as a result of this. Killing one of these guys can't be bad.
There DOES seem to be a "glass is half full" attitiude being displayed here.
