I don't know how legit this is, but if true, AQ have been remarkably successful so far.
Al Qaeda Strategy to the year 2020

If only the US High Command had read that wiki article. :)
That wiki reported strategy looks like propoganda - ooh, look how succesful AQ are, they must be really clever and organised, what a terrible foe, we must do everything we can to get them.
In reality, AQ is a label applied to lots of disconnected groups that don't need to communicate with each other or form a strategy on a global scale - but that doesn't sound so good as a foe. Or so I am to believe.
As for OBL - again, as I am lead to believe (or simply want to believe) - he isn't even important in a strategic sense. He'll continue to be the mascot for many believers I'm sure, no doubt his stylised poster adorning many misguided student dorms in years to come.
I see they are now reporting rubbish about him hiding behind his wife to avoid getting shot. Maybe this is true - or is it simply total crap - it sounds like an idiotic way to portray the man as even more pathetic than he'd become.
nosh:
I'm not vouching for the wiki article but I do believe they have a general strategy or direction, even if it's something as simplistic as "kill the kafir!" (it's probably a little more complex than that) :)
US agents have discovered a lot of info from OBL's villa, let's hope it's more than mere training manuals and leads to something good.

The question now arises what will happen in Afghanistan given that the prime objective of that war was to get bin Laden - -Carol Haynes (May 02, 2011, 08:42 PM)
--- End quote ---
That is simply not true. The objective was never just to get bin Laden. The objective was, and still is, to destroy Al Qaeda and limit terrorism.
