This is about the 20th time they've killed No. 2. They don't last very long.

I wish we had shot Zarqawi where he makes Number 2....with pork-filled bullets.

I wonder if capturing, instead of killing, 'number two', would lead us to 'number one'...

...those who informed on insurgents were helping to save hundreds of lives.

Someone informed on the creep. Things are looking up in Iraq, regardless of what SIN-dy and other Leftist Losers say.

Yesterday he was the #3 guy.
Looks like he moved up the charts.

Good job soldiers. Kill 'em all and stay safe.

Not one word of anything positive in Iraq. No bias at the BBC.

I don't think they have a command structure such that these goons can actually be called the managerial number 2.

I believe Number 2 is military speak for "We killed another high ranking Al Qaeda piece of $hit (ie "number 2")"

It's sorta like being an admiral in the Imperial Navy in Star Wars, except that we keep killing them instead of Darth Vader.

Prisoner: Who are you?

Number Two: The new Number Two.

Prisoner: Who is Number One?

Number Two: You are Number Six.

Prisoner: I am not a number. I am a free man.

Number Two: Ha, ha, ha, ha....

"However, a statement purportedly from al-Qaeda in Iraq says it cannot confirm the death, and denies Azzam is the group's number two in the country."

Not any more, he isn't!

The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

Yes, who ever plays this part in the movie version won't need a speaking part ... they don't last long enough.

Seriously, we've pretty much chewed up/destroyed the Mosul terrorist network by successfully running through about 3 or 4 "Emirs", each replacement is less capable, so it gets easier and easier to dismantle what's left. Along with that you grab a bunch of undrelings.

If we are starting to do that at the top echelon, it's a *very* good sign their days are numbered.
