Gen McChrystal: Bin Laden is key to al-Qaeda defeat

What a profound insight!If US has generals who are of the caliber of this gentleman,it is no surprise that Bin Laden is elusive.
The top US commander in Afghanistan has said al-Qaeda will not be defeated unless its leader, Osama Bin Laden, is captured or killed.
Testifying to the US Congress, Gen Stanley McChrystal said Bin Laden had become an “iconic figure”.
He said President Barack Obama’s deployment of 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan meant success was possible.
But he said the mission was “undeniably difficult” and the next 18 months would be crucial.
“I don’t think that we can finally defeat al-Qaeda until he’s captured or killed,” said Gen McChrystal of Bin Laden.
