I think that capturing and/or killing Osama would be more of a psychological win than any real victory. It's kind of like that ol' "Jason And The Argonauts" analogy ... cut off the head of the snake and two more heads grow out to take its place. Perhaps their energy and resources are better placed somewhere else yet, at the same time, the statement was a pretty weak "cop out". I'd prefer that the government just be more honest in what motivates their change in strategy... not to the point of risking national security but just in general.
