Arab News article says that OBL is dead - literally & figuratively (politically). What's really damning is the assertion that the terrorists fatally misjudged the US character based on 8 years of Clinton wimpiness.

"The fifth element that made Bin Ladenism possible was the West’s, especially America’s, perceived weakness if not actual cowardice. A joke going round the militant Islamist circles until last year was that the only thing the Americans would do if attacked was to sue the attackers in court. That element no longer exists. The Americans, supported by the largest coalition in history, have shown that they are prepared to use force against their enemies even if that means a long war with no easy victory in sight."
