Al-queda's current #2 being dead means that Al-Queda's #3 just got a bigger target painted on his head. Bad luck dude.
Chippin' away at al-Qaida, one cockroach at a time... Killing of Al Qaeda's No. 2 a hammer blow to weakening group August 28, 2011 - The CIA has reportedly killed Al Qaeda's No. 2 Atiyah Abdul Rahman in a drone strike in Pakistan. His death comes as a massive blow to the terrorist group's central leadership.
I wonder if Rush, Hannity, and the other know-nothings will be making the case this week that it was Dubya who was responsible for the killing of #2 (as they did for OBL). Somehow, waterboarding must have been essential to getting this guy too.
If BushCo had done this or any of the many major hits the Obama admin. has scored, the con-chair Generals would be circle-jerking en masse at the success. Obama's hit record cannot be denied, he's decimated the terrorists leadership, something W got bored with.
I thought they killd the #2 and #3 a while back. If they did, than there must still be a #1. Because they have a chain of command just like your State government.
