Harry, Harry, Harry. This really is a terrific story. Surely you
understand that when any of the top five are killed others then move up to
take their place. There will always be a top five until there are no more
leaders left to fill the ranks.

You understand that....eh?

Oh, what a spin!! So, I take it, then, that when you play chess, and
someone takes your Queen, a Rook or a Knight becomes the Queen??

Another who knows nothing of succession of command.

Well, gee, tell us what YOU know about how the terrorists decide
succession of command. Where are these edicts that show just how
Saddam, or terrorist splinter groups do this? I'd like to read them.
Please forward them, okay?

Go read the post I made to Harry. It's pretty simple.

In a game of chess, there are two opposing players. If one gets killed, the other wins. Amen.

You must be one lousy chess player to make an ignorant statement like
that! Are you really saying that there are only two pieces on the
board?????

Did I mention the word 'pieces'? No, I said 'players'. The 'players' are the guys that determine to
where the pieces get moved. Again, there's nothing difficult there.

[N.B. Your attempt to make an argument here does not speak well of you.]
