#1 ION PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > GOLDMAN RACHMAN: US SHOULD DECLARE VICTORY AND END THE "GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR".

and

* SAME > "CORE AL-QAEDA'S" PRIORITY [post-Osama] IS SURVIVAL, NOT SUCCESSION.

* TOPIX > US SAYS IT CAN NOW DESTROY AL-QAEDA, now that Osama is gone.

OBL had the battlefield credentials that likley successor AYMAN ZAWAHIRI lacks, while others that do have combat credentials = experience have thus far not expressed any desire or undertaken action to lead AQ.

KEEP THAT POPCORN HANDY.

#4 Pappy: I used to collect that sort of bad writing. Some of the best were published in National Lampoon, in their True Facts section. They were collected by an "unnamed editor of serious fiction", which turned out to be Analog Science Fiction and Fact, one of the last magazines to take unsolicited manuscripts.

Here as some of their best.

#5 In true democratic societies, no man is better than another, the death of one carries far less impact than in authoritarian societies where the social organization is dependent upon the 'one'. Now let the hyenas fight for position.

#6 Al Qaeda has lost its $300 Million backer, Osama Bin Laden. This will have a huge impact on the organization.

One hopes the contracts to make the list invalid are quickly let.
