1. Saddam Hussein's former "security" (terror) force that plan the majority of routine attacks.

2. Al Qaeda bosses who plan the more spectacular suicide attacks.

Until we remove (kill or capture and then kill) these big guys, the war will drag on. We need better intelligence to locate these thugs. Little fish are easy to replace. Only the big fish are irreplaceable.

It would also not hurt to grab Osama Bin Laden as well. That would REALLy put a dent in Al Qaeda's operations.
