A more optimistic view: with "OBL" "dead," the PTB is ready to declare victory and get out of Afghanistan.
A more skeptical view: just like Qaddafi bought a bunch of trash on the black market in 2003 and handed them in as "giving up on nuclear program" so as to provide the political cover for welcoming him back to the international community and having him as part of the war on radical Islamists, this dead OBL thing might just provide political cover for recruiting erstwhile AQAM (AQ branch in North Africa, "Arabic Maghreb") into a new holy-war/jihad against the secular dictators like Qaddafi. Just like in the book "1984," the wars against "Eurasia" and "East-Asia" are alternating events.
Whether the real OBL is dead or whether he found the long sought after mystical treatment for keeping all hair black for a decade while operating under tremendous stress . . . is quite irrelevant to the discussion. The relevant point is what's the next policy step after this announcement.
