Good Job Guys! ..and Gals!
Don’t tell me...the #3 guy, right?
Lot Al-Turki’s out there. I’m sure the MSM will report this as a bad development, because the #3 al-Turki is worse thant the #2 al-Turki.

With these guys, why is it always.....”also known as”???
Outstanding!!!
Hi. This is my brother al-Turki. And this is my other brother al-Turki.
I hope they killed him real good. Two shots to the chest, one to the head, mafiosi style.
Woo-hoo!!!
al-turki the turkey?
Anyone know what al-turki means?
I suppose this is good news for our troops’ efforts but right now I’m more afraid of the U.S. Senate than al-Qaeda.
And more to come, more terrorists and their leaders will be killed.
If I had to guess I would say it probably means "the guy from Turkey," or something close to that.
