Another Al Qaida #2 killed

Every few weeks, the Bush administration trumpets the killing or capturing of another #2 person in the Al Qaida operation. Bush did it again Wednesday morning.

Except that they can't all be the #2 person, and media people are finally starting to realize that such claims are simply lies. Better late than never.

1. If I were in that group, I would insist on being a #3 if not 4
and refuse any promotions. :)

8. Maybe Zarqawi is like George Foreman
It's like that old joke,

"Capt. Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy and Ensign Liebowitz all beam dowm to the surface of the planet. Guess who ain't comin' back?"

9. I reminded of large corporations that swarm with pointless vice-presidents
while all the important decisions are made elsewhere.

Maybe they all stood in line and counted off by numbers one day,
so as each "#2" is killed, the next one moves up.

U.S. forces are under strict orders to kill only the current "#2" and leave the rest alone.

It's a scenario inspired by the 1960s British TV show "The Prisoner." ;-)

11. You say the MEDIA is full of "number two"???
I dunno--I think maybe our regime is full to the eyebrows with number two these days... Somebody better flush soon or we'll all be buried in it.

12. When the current #2 is killed the number #3 then becomes #2 until...
...that #2 is killed.

And believe me, they have plenty of replacements for the #2 position - it's neverending

14. Damn, if I'm #6 on the list things aren't looking good for me
Pretty much in 6 months I would be #2 and killed soon
