"Two US officials say the drone strike in Yemen that killed Anward al-Awlaki appears to have also killed al-Qaida's top Saudi bomb-maker.If it's true.
Officials say intelligence indicates Ibrahim al-Asiri also died in the attack. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the death has not been officially confirmed.
Al-Asiri is the bomb-maker believed to have made the explosives used in the foiled Christmas Day airline attack in 2009 and last year's attempted cargo plane bombing.
Al-Asiri's death would make the attack perhaps the most successful single drone strike ever."

...delude yourself into thinking this war against Islamism is "near the tipping point" just because al-Qaeda may be.
With the death of Awlaki, Al-Qaeda nears its tipping point
Still, this is a major victory for Western Civilization. Al Qaeda has been on the run and taking many hits where it hurts for some time. They are going to find recruitment getting harder and harder. But there are lots of other Islamist organizations out there and one thing they all seem to have plenty of is exemplary strategists.
I wonder if (and if so, when) we'll see Pakistan turn on the ones in their midst.
Our leftards do not want us to know that we're winning, either. It means they've lost.
