Just realized why the US goes after the #2s & #3 Alquieda

leaders but don't seem to care about Bin Laden. It just hit me. The #2s and #3s know that Bin Laden is either dead or working for Bush. Can't take the chance that one of them lets the cat out of the bag on Bin Laden. So it's ok to kill 30 civilians to shut one of these guys up. At least it makes sense to me.

1. Here you go...

Working for Bush...that certainly puts a crimp in the rat bastard's style. 9-11 anyone?

Peace.

4. I think that this is what they are probably doing.

In the mind of the Bush administration, every time they kill or capture a "number two" al Qaeda guy then the next guy in line becomes "number two". When they kill/capture that guy, then the next one becomes number two, etc, etc. In this way they can capture the "number two" guy over and over again. It's the same specious way this administration always deals with numbers of any kind.

On edit: Of course, it's a shame that they can't capture the "number ONE" guy but by constantly capturing number two they can make the more gullible among us think that they are getting close. Again. And again.
