We know Bin Laden and Zawahri are numbers one and two, but who is number four?

Number five. Number Four just got promoted...

"Purple Finger Day" is coming.

Just a little reminder: Thursday December 15th is "Purple Finger Day."

Show your support for Freedom and Democracy in Iraq by getting out your kids' markers and painting your finger-tip purple.

Good news, yes.

But ......................

There always will be a #3. When OBL goes, there will be a new #1.

We can't win this war fighting individuals. We CAN win this war if Bush would get off his duff and do what he promised to do and that was to go after nations that harbor terrorists. 10 Marines were killed today, and I just hope my nephew was not one of them. They were killed by an IED made in Iran no doubt, like most IEDs are. We should be waging war against Iran and Syria, not fighting thugs infiltrating in from Iran and Syria and elsewhere inside Iraq.

Stopping a terrorist nation is how you win a war on terror, not fighting individual thugs in Iraq.

Does the public even know who al-Zawahiri is?

"How many #3's do these guys got?"
When one is numerically challenged, everything beyond #2 becomes #3.

yah, I happen to think Zarqawi and Bin Laden are the only ones with the name regonization to produce a sizable boost in support for the war.

If you keep killing #3, you'll eventually get them all except for #1 and #2.

Like Dubya said in 01 - We get them running, we hunt them down, we kill them.

Bush also said he would go after nations that harbor terrorists, and he has betrayed us on that promise. The IED that killed ten Marines today was probably made in Iran, and Bush does nothing to stop that.

Oh, wait................That's right. He asked the ambassador to "engage Iraq" to see if they would kindly help in stopping the killing in Iraq.

I honestly can not believe that is George Bush in the White House. I never would have imagined that Bush would prosecute this war in such a French-like surrender fashion. We either need to go after nations that harbor and aid the war against us, or we should stop the war and admit defeat. Bush is fighting a LBJ style "half-speed" war. That was nuts then, and it is nuts now. Bush is no Harry Truman. Bush is no Teddy Roosevelt. Bush is no JFK.

More than this guy they just killed. Al-Zawahiri is the big brain operationally and second to Bin Laden. For practical purposes he is even a bigger deal than Bin Laden himself.

The three I named have had the most publicity in the US and the Muslim world as well.

Hamza had escaped a similar attack at his location in Mosaki in Mirali on Nov 5 that had left eight people dead including his wife and children. Hamza was said to have been slightly wounded in the leg.

Yeah - I remember that and I figured he was kinda peesed off about that and would go to any means to retaliate. Is it ok if I say I'm glad he is d-e-a-d?

How many do-overs does AQ get on their #3 man anyway?

More aides than San Francisco.

They're terrorists, not aides.

It was four linked together artillary shells that blew up the marines. The shaped charges are the ones that come from Iran.

You said a lot there and I'm in complete agreement. W needs to fulfill his promise to go after the nations that aid terrorists.

What really pi$$es me off is that we have the capacity to do what it takes but not the will due to PC. JMO.

The CIA drone must have thought they were targeting the White House. No wonder the aim was so good.

While I agree Zawhiri is the brain and getting him would be huge, I also think Zawhiri is relatively unknown by the US public compaired to Zarqawi and Bin Laden.

I can't argue with that. Both had more publicity.
