CNN w/breaking news-Al Qaeda #2 killed?
Even if they got the guy they think they got, I'm sure that will shut down all the insurgents. :sarcasm:
I guess I don't get the point because nothing will change.

6. Apparently not "THIS" fool. They showed multiple clips
of a guy walking next to bin Laden, Zarkawhi? That's who supposedly died.
No, only number 3 has died 15 times! :spank:

4. The next thing you know
they'll be telling us they were able to track him down because they had located him through a tapped telephone call to or from the US. These things just have a neat way of taking place at just the right time don't they?

7. Great News!
But Which #2?

#2 in Iraq?
#2 in Central Iraq?
# 2 in North Central Iraq?
#2 in Europe?
#2 in England?
#2 in Baghdad?
#2 in Afghanistan?
#2 in Eastern Afghanistan?
#2 in Saudi Arabia?
#2 in Syria?
#2 in Buffalo N.Y.?
#2 in the Gaza?
#2 in Montreal waiting to come into the U.S. when bush's poll #s hit the teens?
#2 in Poland?

I wish they would quit putting bull shit on toast and telling us to "eat up it is country style apple butter."

9. I heard the dead from this attack will be quickly buried
so the identities may never be known.

(And this way, BushCo can claim he was likely killed when they're on the "we're making progress" track, but continue to scare people when they're on the "enemy still lurks" track.)

10. More Bush propaganda, timed to shift focus from Alito to Iraq.
They know all they have to do is run the rumor, and that sets a tone for the weekend news cycle. They didn't want anyone paying attention to the criticisms for Alito today by Michelson, Sullivan, and others.

13. Do you know the difference between AQ's number 2 and number 3?
There are only 27 number twos in AQ, but there are over 100 number threes.

Ok, I'm estimating, but it's based upon the "reports" by the administration the past 3 years. Every month they claim they might have "gotten" the number two or number three guy.

16. But, but, but...
if Bin Ladin is actually impotent these days (tired, sick, broke,) as the news has been portraying him...wouldn't #2 actually be #1? So it could have been the former #3 that was killed today, or maybe #4, who would have taken #3's position immediately after the former #3 was elevated to the #2 position, on the demise of the late #2. So, then who's on 1st?

Stay tuned...all this talk of #2, has affected me physically.

Do you think I could take a restroom break?
