Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Muhajer is supposedly going to assume the leadership of al Qaeda, readily confirming fears that any "victory" that came with the killing of al-Zarqawi was fleeting at best. Before - we had a dangerous man, now we have a dangerous martyr AND a dangerous man. By all accounts Hamza makes Zarqawi look like a pacifist.
And over two dozen people paid the price for that victory in Iraq within the last 24 hours. No prophets are needed to see where this all is going.
