		<description>I had to laugh when I saw this. This always seems to come out when the republicans are in trouble. I thought they gave up on these timely terrorist kill/captures. How many number two&#039;s are we at now? Who&#039;s knows if any of these are even true or even matter. Iraq as a country is pretty much destroyed anyway. A shell of its former self.  I think this story was pretty much ignored mostly. No one really cares about this stuff any more. It&#039;s the economy stupid.</description>

		<description>&quot;For At Least The Third Time, Officials Take Down A ‘No. 2? Leader Of Al Qaeda In Iraq&quot;

And for the third time: who in the hell is this guy? Aren&#039;t we supposed to be finding Bin Laden? Oh, I am sorry. It&#039;s been 7 years and he has been missing without a trace. And Grandpappy Mighty Mouse McSame &quot;promised&quot; us thathe knows where to find Bin Laden and will find him. Again, another diversion by the clown President to get the American people less focused on the economic crisis. Sorry, George, the public is not buying the beans.</description>

		<description>How does our government expect our economy to get better when they are doing nothing about creating jobs for Americans? They can throw all the money they want to the banksters but it won&#039;t fix the real problem and we will see another crisis in the future. It&#039;s the jobs stupid!</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Al-Qaida is in Iraq to stay. It’s not a conclusion the White House talks about much when denouncing the shadowy group.&lt;/em&gt;

If there really are AQ in Iraq (which is a controversial subject) they will not leave until we leave.  Once we leave, they will leave because they will know that if they don&#039;t leave, the Iraqi&#039;s will kick them out.  The Iraqi&#039;s don&#039;t tolerate foreigners in their country.</description>

		<description>Look it&#039;s worked for 7 years why stop now. Americans just listen to what is told by the Govenment and the Media. Once you go on the web or watch BBC or the Middle East news you know it&#039;s all bull.  This is the reason the WH developed the Propaganda Dept. in Washington DC. We might here the US has captured Saddam again if it brings McCain votes.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s the way this #2 deal works. It&#039;s like college football polls. Say Osama is #1. Bama is #2 and Missouri is #3. They knock off #2, Bama then that makes the old #3, Missouri, the new #2. Knock off the new #2, Missouri  and who ever was #3 then becomes #2. 

Get it?  We could just keep knocking off #2&#039;s until there is no one left below to become #2.... then all we have to do is knock off #1 and we win the war.

It&#039;s really quite simple.</description>

		<description>They always call it a &quot;severe blow&quot;, but it&#039;s just cutting another head off the hydra.  Our policies have ramped up Al Qaeda recruiting beyond OBL&#039;s wildest dreams, and there will be plenty of candidates to fill Abu Qaswarah&#039;s spot.

I doubt we will see a whole lot of difference as a result of this &quot;severe blow&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Phenix Says:

Just in time for McCain to bledgeon Obama with it tonight in the final debate.&lt;/em&gt;

Bledgeon?  Never heard of it.  Is this some sort of Medieval tactic that we&#039;re not aware of???  Is this McCain&#039;s October surprise?  Bledgeoning his opponent????</description>

		<description>That &quot;Number 2&quot; job in al-Qaeda really sucks.  Frankly, I don&#039;t know why anyone ever accepts the promotion.

From a purely careerist perspective, it seems obvious that the Number 3 job is the one to shoot for, at least until bin Laden dies.  Sure, the corner/window office sounds sweet, and the retirement plan/golden parachute rocks, but there&#039;s just not the longevity in the Number 2 job there that a lot of your professional career terrorists are looking for.

Frankly, I wouldn&#039;t advise anyone to accept that offer.</description>
