CNN Breaking says American Airstrike may have killed Ayman al-Zawahiri
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/01/13/alqaeda.strike/index.html

This is probably Bush trying to manage the headlines however given that the other headline of the day is Congressman Ney resigning Committee Chairmanship over HIS corruption scandal.

That's my take on it anyways...

I suspect we will get a headline in a couple of days saying "nope, they missed him".

18. You know actually and technically ........
Yea he got killed ....... again, and that's at least 4 times just today! Forget the fact he's been killed over and over and over the last 4 or so years. And further more this isn't a 'dupe' post .... nor do I think it really ever can be considered a 'dupe' post, as many times as this guy has bit the dust. Shit think I'll start my own thread on this in a few minutes than argue with the mods why they can't consolidate it into any of the others. In a court of law I can argue he got killed as many times today as I want to say it. If it's good enough for the Government it's good enough for me. Peace. :crazy:

27. The real story is that We just murdered unknown number of Pakistanis
with our bombs, to kill a guy for the ninth time.

this president is so evil i can't think what has to happen before he is stopped.

31. Yea the real story ......
He lives! Gee imagine that. And at last count so far 18 innocent real lives lost, and no end in sight to this madness, but hey CNN has other story's to get to, right after this brief commercial break.......

This is so wrong on so many levels. Americans have no shame, no conscience, no morals, time to go shopping. Peace. :nuke:

12. I just thought I'd point this out as it is/was breaking; it's okay to
post it here, because there are lots of people who don't go there either. :-)

25. "You are Number Two. Who is Number One?"
If they got this scumbag (big "if"), I say, good riddance. No tears shed here.

29. Of course, but the Rove-Bush** administration has been claiming that they
"got the #2" more times than I can count. Sort of like the Emmanuel Goldstein character in "1984"

14. If they did get al-Zawahiri,
it would have been with a robot predator plane. Shows how high of priority Al-Quaida is with this administration. We need to give Bin Laden some oil wells so that we can get rid of him.

17. Nope this is the Egyptian doctor guy in all his videos...
Everybody who is onto "another #2" is thinking of the "#2 in Iraq" which keeps changing with every story.

I think they are making this story up however to influence the news cycle and down play the Congressional corruption story today.

26. who gives a rat's ass if yet another second in command might be dead?
It's all subterfuge, unmitigated bullshit.
