Al Qaeda's Pakistan Lair Captured
Hopefully, Pakistan can get the job done, so that the US can get out sooner rather than later:

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Afghanistan/network-150-al-qaeda-caves-captured-afghan-border/story?id=10000854

In what is being hailed as a major victory against al Qaeda and its allies, Pakistani forces announced the capture of caves described as the nerve centre of militant activity on the Afghan-Pakistan border.
Pakistan's army has routed al Qaeda from cave network near Afghan border.

An elaborate network of over 150 caves, rumored to have once housed Al Qaeda's number two Ayman al Zawahiri, was revealed to journalists by the Pakitani military

"The location of Bajaur, especially Damadola, is very significant. The militants controlled their operations from this place," Maj. Gen. Attar Abbas, Pakistani army spokesman, said.

2. No, they did.
We've missed him a few times, it's their turn.

Of course, it's been the same #2 guy for perhaps the last 15 years, so it's not like anybody's got him before.

Different country. Different organization. Different guy.

3. An endless supply of #2. Much like we get from the M$M.
AQ runs on zombies.
