Do you think that if the US can eliminate Bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, this will effectively disable Al Qaeda?

American intelligence believes, based on a statement from Al Qaeda, that the militant leader, Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, who is an Egyptian, has been killed in an American missile strike in Pakistan. Mr Yazid was reportedly the third most powerful leader in the organization. He was considered to be the commander for the military operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and also the chief financial planner. There have been other significant losses among the Al Qaeda leadership recently.

If the enemies of Al Qaeda were able to quickly dispose of the other two of the top tier in the organization, before there was time for them to recover from these losses, do you think that Al Qaeda could be effectively neutralized? Or is the organization sufficiently well organized to quickly recover and continue to be a formidable foe to it’s enemies?
