Head Of The Snake Has Been Cut Off? Sorry Mr. President But That's A Terrible Analogy!

It (ref the title above) is one of the worst analogies I've ever heard. I'd expect better from President Obama. That analogy is supposed to mean the snake cannot hurt you any more because it can no longer bite (harm you) ... in any way. In his reference it's clear that the president was characterizing al Qaeda as the entire snake with Bin Laden as the head. But do you think this snake has lost its ability to bite us? Hardly. In fact, by killing Bin Laden, we may have just pissed off that snake enough that it'll bite us more aggressively and/or sooner than it would have otherwise. In fact, the person who replaces Bin Laden as al Qaeda's leader could very well be more dangerous. Dumb analogy sir.
