#1 "We expect U.S. intelligence establishment to share available information and actionable intelligence regarding Al Zawahri and other HVTs with us, enabling Pakistan Army to warn them to ~~get their butts outta here~~ carry out targeted operations," said a military spokesman.

FTFY.

#2 Pakistan has an amazing ability to instantly catch those jihadis who act against Paki interests, like Taliban #2 Mullah Baradar when he began peace negations that cut out Pakistan. Yet they can't jihadis who live in Pakistan's finest mansions and hotels and who happen to be surrounded by thousands of Pakistan's finest troops.

#3 Al Qaeda in Pakistan is pretty much a spent force. While important to wipe out, this round of the jihad against Dar al Harb will not end until the active jihadi groups are degraded and demoralized enough that they go into hiding for a generation or more. At the moment the key targets are the affiliates who are actively pursuing terror attacks: AQ in the Arabian Peninsula, AQ in the Maghreb, the various groups making up the Taliban in Afghanistan, ditto the Taliban in Pakistan, Lashkar-i-Taiba, [put your favorite here]...

#6 Unfortunately, as per ARAB-MUSLIM HISTORY, even iff the US-Allies did succeed in finally whacking Ayman + most or all of the remaining
"Core", Affiliate Qaeda Leaders, in a best-case scenario IMO it would mean only a temporary lull before the resumption of violent Regional, Global Jihad under new Leaders or major Groups, to include non-Qaeda.

As I argued or inferred times before, 1990's NET + pre, post-9-11 > the nature of the Terror = MilTerr threat, espec as per Nuke-WMD proliferation to same, is such that the US, etal. may have to conquer the World even iff Amers don't want to, just for the sake(s) of Personal, Societal, National, + Geopol-World Security.
