I realize that there are others waiting to take this terrorists place but at least we are continuing to take down their leadership. I hope that eventually their organization is crippled so badly that Al Queda will be a bad memory for the entire world..
I'd like to take that drone out for a beer or something...

Al-Qaida's number three — a co-founder of the terror network and Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law — has been killed in Pakistan's border area with Afghanistan, according to a statement attributed to the group that was posted on Islamist websites Monday.
The statement did not say how Shaykh Saeed, whose real name is Shaykh Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, was killed nor did it identify a successor. Saeed was also al-Qaida's financial director.
One senior U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity told NBC News that Saeed was killed in an attack by a missile-carrying drone aircraft.
Another official said that "in terms of counterterrorism this would be a big victory," describing Saeed as "the group's chief operating officer, with a hand in everything from finances to operational planning. He was also the organization's prime conduit to Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri. He was key to al-Qaida's command and control."
