With Bin Laden out of the way, that leaves two of the world's top terrorists still at large...

1. Haven't we caught the number 2

in Al Quida about a dozen times?

[Recursion]

2. No, #2 was always Zawahiri

"#3" has been used to describe a lot of people, mostly the international operations chiefs (they keep dying because we keep targeting them) and the leaders of regional AQ cells in important areas.

[Nostradammit]

9. How come for years we kept hearing how they'd killed the #2 Al Queda guy?

Seriously, it got to be a weekly event a few years ago.

Is Zawahiri a cat or what?

[Recursion]

10. I don't remember seeing anything but #3, or "Al Qaeda in Iraq's #2"

We had classes about these guys in the late 90s in the military, which made news coverage a lot easier to follow. Even back in '97 or '98 if you said something inappropriate over a telephone the stock response was, "Great, now Osama Bin Ladin knows..."

14. Everytime you get #2, #3 and the rest get a promotion. But really its not like these terrorist

networks are hierarchical organizations that operate by Robert's Rules of Order anyway. Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah etc are composed of independent cells that are capable of acting without central leadership.

16. Right, but CEO, EVP, and COO are reasonable analogies...

... for some figures (called #1, #2, and #3). Bin Ladin did "the vision thing", Zawahiri does personnel, and the various #3 did operations.

18. just like the hell's angles, the banditos, the outlaws

the bezerkers, the latin kings, the gangster disciples, the bloods, the crips well you get the idea....

3. George Bush* and Dick Cheney*?

[lob1]

4. No brains and no pulse.

5. But don't forget We're Looking Forward NOT Backward. REC. nt

6. Henry Kissinger is still walking around a free man as we write - n/t

13. Good call

[Bandit]

15. I think I will feel much more happiness when the Big Dick meets his maker

than when Bin Ladin did..Bush* I really don't even care about. Cheney is evil incarnate and the earth will be so much better off when he is gone.

[marions ghost]

21. Yeah me too

Cheney is a world class criminal with more blood on his hands than OBL.

And the problem is...he's OURS! :grr: And we can't send the seals after him.

17. before the photo popped up i thought to myself W. an cheney

and the bam, they popped up on the photo!

[Cherchez la Femme]

19. No no no...

we've got to look forward, not back!

And always whirling, twirling, whirling! :crazy:

[many a good man]

20. 2? There's now only one at-large
