So I wonder which #2 guy will want to take the #1 position?

[Duer 157099]

Just sort of wondering what is going through their minds, like, do they think: eh, maybe it's time to back down, or do they think: Ah! I will take his place!

I'm thinking that if anybody is going to take his place, they'd do it quickly. But I wonder how many really are anxious to take that role?

1. There's likely another #1 in place n/t

2. Are there any #2 guys left?

Seems like we killed about 100 of them back in the cheney days.

Every time things started to go bad for the administration another BS story was planted about how we got the #2 guy.

4. Most of the reading I've done indicates that AQ is more like a franchise now

than it used to be. Lawrence Wright (The Looming Tower) says there will be a power struggle but its results may not be as important as it would have been say in the late 90s.

7. That makes sense. n/t

5. I would if I was a #2

Let's face it, the lifespan of the #1 is a LOT longer than the #2. I think we kill the #2 guy every three months or so, right?

6. I think they've pretty much switched to a franchising system...

...sort of like 7-Eleven.
