[RobertSeattle]

1. Don't they have like a thousand "No 2s"?

[central scrutinizer]

4. no those were #3's

they were very deep at the #3 position. They should have traded some of them for draft picks or terrorists to be named later.

[hvn_nbr_2]

16. Hey, dead guy. You were #2 in Al Qaeda.

They're getting serious now--Dumbya down even further in the polls, so this time they shot some guy and appointed him to be #2 instead of #3. Appointed him right on the spot--sort of like a battlefield commission. "Hey, dead guy. You were #2 in Al Qaeda." If dimson goes below 30%, they'll announce that Al Qaeda had gotten a new #1 and they just shot him.

[sniffa]

8. yes

and they don't necessariLy have a "number one"

they have say, 100 #1's

1000 #2's

10,000 #3's and so forth.

it's structured, so the Loss of any 'one' wiLL not affect the fLow and function of the group.

[rodeodance]

15. at least!

[Lindacooks]

2. Is this the 4th or 5th #2??

I keep getting them mixed up. Or is it the 6th of 7th?

[npincus]

3. that's pretty good news- those fuckers should all die miserable deaths

Bin Ladin first

5. CBS has the story:

The No. 2 al Qaeda leader in Iraq was killed Sunday night, U.S. officials say. Abu Azzam, reportedly the deputy to Abu Musab al Zarqawi, was shot during a house rain in Baghdad, according to Pentagon officials.

As the aide to Zarqawi, Azzam was reportedly in control of financing foreign fighters coming into Iraq, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports.

According to Pentagon officials coalition troops raided the house in response to a tip. When Azzam opened fire, these officials say, he was killed with troops' return fire.

What effect this will have on the insurgency remains to be seen. In the past, key Zarqawi lieutenants have been killed or captured without any decrease in the number of suicide bombings.

[brettdale]

9. LOL

The guys name is, Abu Azzam, he is apprently Al Qaeda's number two guy.

Does anyone have a list of the number of stories the media has done over the past 18 months on the number two guy in Al Qaeda being killed or caught.

[Mr_Spock]

11. So this guy was in charge of SHIT?

I think the whole organization could be referred to as #2 :rofl:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

[Mikimouse]

12. I wonder...

"Azzam was reportedly in control of financing foreign fighters coming into Iraq."

So, tell me, is this they guy who was financing the British 'Arabs'?

[Algorem]

13. This is bad. #3's supposed to be a real prick.

[VOX]

17. Is there an al Qaeda "Top 40" so we can have a proper countdown?

Sheesh. Otherwise, it's just #2 over and over. Oh, and don't forget the alternate media-speak for #2 -- "top lieutenant." :grr:

[ret5hd]

22. Capture and kill one; release 500? Glad everything is so organized.

Those 500 being released probably had no business being locked up in the first place, now they WILL be insurgents.
