"The Iraqi army forces arrested three terrorists who belong to al Qaeda, one of them is a senior aide of Zarqawi in Baghdad, Kassim al-Ani," Defense Ministry spokesman Kassim al-Mosawi told Reuters. "He was one of the most wanted ones."

1. ok, so what

the jerk in the whitehouse could have gotten al zarqawi before he invaded Iraq, but he was so intent on invading Iraq, that he passed up that opportunity

[merwin]

2. Yet another second in command...

[blonndee]

3. NUMBER TWO! NUMBER TWO!!

Funny, I'd think all the number twos wouldn't be too far away from the number ones.

This is getting to be really pathetic.

"Top aide" to bin Laden

"top aide" to Al Zaraqawi

al-Qaida is proving to be rather flexible for their purposes, no?

4. Isn't this, um, the third right hand guy Zarqawi lost in as many weeks?

Possibly the fourth? Join al Qaeda in Iraq today
where we can put you on the fast track to to the top! :silly:

Seriously, how many times do they think they can pull
this same old stunt?

5. as long as there are americans who'd rather watch american idol

than pay attention to what's happening to their country.

6. must have been the guy who helped him

fire the machine gun. i`m sure they`ll find another number two next week

7. Again? If Zarqawi has this many "senior aides", just how many

fighters does he have in the field? They capture one of his "senior aides" just about every week.

8. Well then, the war must be about over...

...they can torture him to prevent further terrorist attacks and capture Zarquawi and the war will be over. Right? Time to bring the troops home.
