Al Qaeda leader dies twice
http://www.examiner.com/a-815250~U_S__eagerness_shows_in_dismantling_al_Qaeda.html

U.S. eager and it shows in Iraq
Jul 6, 2007 7:03 AM (1 day ago)
by Rowan Scarborough, The Examiner


Washington DC (Map, News) - The U.S. command in Baghdad this week ballyhooed the killing of a key al Qaeda leader but later admitted that the military had declared him dead a year ago.

A military spokesman acknowledged the mistake after it was called to his attention by The Examiner. He said public affairs officers will be more careful in announcing significant kills.

The incident shows the eagerness of the command to show progress in dismantling al Qaeda at a time when Democrats and some Republicans are pressing President Bush to withdraw troops from Iraq. Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander, has declared al Qaeda enemy No. 1 in Iraq.

2. Wile we're on that, where's 'himself' UBL?
Bush has failed to catch him and Congress are not asking either.

27. Rumour has it that he died a few years back.
They probably haven't recovered his body. If they had it would have been used for some pro-Bush propaganda by now.

3. Died twice?
That means he must have come back from the dead -- i.e. he's the Second Coming. Don't tell the fundies about this...

4. Well? That's what happens when you can't keep your stories straight, right?
Sounds like they need to change marketing agencies. Taxpayers are paying to have someone lie to them, and it ought to be convincing for as much as it costs! Sheesh...

12. You Only Live Twice
or so it seems,
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame,
Till one dream appears and love is its name.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.

This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

22. Don't these idiots know how to kill these terrorists, you cut off the head, stake through heart...
and then burn the remains. That way you are guaranteed, maybe, from never seeing their vampire/zombie asses ever again!

26. Well, you see, we gotta kill em twice over there
so we don't have to kill em once over here. I decided that myself. We'll just say this surge is keeping us twice as safe by killing em twice.
