Pakistan: "High-Value Target" Surrounded

CNN Read Header reads: Pakistani president tells CNN he believes troops have surrounded al Qaeda fighters protecting "high-value target." Details soon.

Oh please oh please oh please ...

UDPATE: More from FOXNews, with an AP story:
In a report from Islamabad, an American news channel said Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf told them Pakistani forces had surrounded a "high-value target" that was being protected by Al Qaeda fighters. The news channel said the identity of the target was not known.

Good news, but not worth reaching climax over. This war is good for at least two generations, maybe more. Everyone alive today will die of old age before it's finished. When OBL is dead and gone, there will be new leaders emerge for the terrorists. Ditto for GWB. It is another victory , just as regime change in Spain was a defeat. There will be many more of both.

Yes! 50 years or more, but I pray that we
get this kill confirmed ASAP.

Kill ??? Yeah! I doubt any of those trapped
will be taken alive, but then again, maybe
a sane Islamist exists somewhere there ??
