yet ANOTHER al qaeda mastermind captured...CNN breaking news

[mopaul]

another one, not the false one from the other day. amar al-zubaydi is the name of the new batman villain. just announced on the white house t.v.

this after introducing wolf's show STILL hawking the lie about the number 3 al qaeda man being captured, even after it's been discredited.

[htuttle]

1. Google comes up empty on him

Even I'm listed on google...:shrug:

I'm sure he was one of the top 3, though...:eyes:

[blondeatlast]

14. They aren't LYING, of course not. Every time a number three is

captured, another one rises to take his place. It's the pecking order.

We really just captured what was #47 two weeks ago, see?

Why, the Our Father Bush would never lie to us...

[DrDebug]

18. Amar al-Zubaidi is listed, though

But he's dead. Probably the inspiration for his name.

Folks, please stop calling him a "suicide bomber"; he was far from it. He was a nineteen-year-old young man born with Down Syndrome, afflicted severely enough to not be able to talk. He had no understanding of the nihilism that afflicted his abductors; he couldn't and didn't make the cognitive decision to strap on a bomb to kill himself and others. He was taken from his home under the pretext of compassion and was murdered when the bomb strapped on him was detonated by people who have lost their own humanity and who are hellbent on one thing; stop the birth of freedom in Iraq by any and all means no matter how dirty, deceitful, low, and evil.

I found out about Amar's murder on my son's twentieth birthday. I wrote about it here, and I haven't stopped thinking about him. My son, too, has Down Syndrome and can't talk. So it's hard for me not to take this personally.

4. can you believe this pitiful shit?

lame lame lame

[Pithy Cherub]

6. A low level capture covered by a low level 'news' network...fitting

the irony escapes them...

[Richard Steele]

17. ...And Osama's pool boy must be getting pretty nervous right now!

This guy wasn't even on google?
Great....another 'capture' of someone we never heard of.
Very convincing. YAAAWN.

[immoderate]

5. I can see why al Qaeda guys want to stay #4!

Moving up to #3 puts you in the hot seat.

7. It seems Al Qaeda only has masterminds...

...it seems as if there has already been at least 10 or more top 3. No foot soldiers just masterminds, that's pretty good.

[Career Prole]

8. I saw that rascal too. They reported it as "breaking news" (although

he was caught three days ago) then said he wasn't captured with documents but they were getting "perishable human intelligence" from him on Zarqawi's whereabouts.

What releasing the news now discloses is that the "perishable human intelligence" wasn't worth a shit.

If the guy was that close to Zarqawi and they had him tied to a chair unbeknownst to Z. they could have gotten a list of hideouts from him...not by torture, of course, because we don't do that so stop saying that!

Catching Zarqawi then would have been quite possible, perhaps even probable, because Z. wouldn't have known his safe houses were no longer safe.

Now it seems they don't care if Z. knows that this guy's been compromised so apparently he didn't know anything worth knowing...which begs the question "Well, why'd they say he was important?"

9. mygod, he's an unemployed dishwasher!

mind, that's a good cover for a devil in disguise
btw WHO broke all the dishes in Iraq/Afghanistan eh?...eh, eh, eh?

12. Why Ask Why?

(Does somebody have an up-to-date chart?)

[democracyindanger]

10. What number? I don't get out of bed for anything less than a #2.

[mopaul]

11. they just pick random guys to scare us into forgetting the real guy

osama, and their 'failure' to find him

[Stirk]

13. It's true. This is how Al Qaeda is organized:

[Bluebear]

15. EXCELLENT graphic

It makes everything so clear.

19. Thanks, I didn't understand it before

You must be a Secret Agent with this kind of knowledge.

22. Correction: Put CIA/Cheney above OBL as they are the true leaders

[blondeatlast]

16. We need a top 40, but the continual ties at #3 are a bitch! nt

[DrDebug]

21. The BBC list

#1. Old Scarecrow Himself: Osama Bin Laden



#2. The spiritual leader: Ayman al-Zawahri



#3. The one responsible for Iraq: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi aka Ahmed al-Khalayleh



$25m if you catch him. I mean there is politics and there is money...

#4. Sheikh Said. Brother-in-law of Bin. Guess they keep it in the family as well

#5. Saif al-Adel.



#6. Abu Mohammed al-Masri aka Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah

#7. Sulaiman Abu Ghaith



#8. Thirwat Salah Shirhata

And that is all folks

23. Those look like a bunch of miserable souls.

"Pout for the camera."

"Good shot! Thanks."

[DrDebug]

25. For some odd coincidence they all look evil

It is funny that the BBC put al-Zarqawi as #3 and al-Zawahri as #2. That means that #3 couldn't possibly have been picked up.

How about this bunch:

[mogster]

20. Who is it this time? al-Fred Astaire? n/t

24. The new attempt to bump Smirky's poll numbers.

The old attempt was terra lerts...they got worn out and didn't work anymore
