ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - An al Qaeda commander ranked among the top five in
Osama bin Laden's network was killed in a tribal region of Pakistan
bordering Afghanistan, President Pervez Musharraf said on Saturday.

Abu Hamza Rabia, an Egyptian credited with heading al Qaeda's
international operations, was among five militants killed in an explosion
at a house where they were hiding in North Waziristan on Thursday.

Let's see, we've killed the 2nd in command, third in command, fourth in
command, fifth in command al Qaeda leader what, 20 times each now? Only
10,000 "Top 5" leaders left.



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?


I understand what you mean. What follows next is simple: If these guys are
as interchangeable as flat washers, our government shouldn't make a big deal
out of announcing when they kill or capture them. It doesn't matter.



Jim and others like him do not understand the concepts of finite and
infinite. The insurgents in Iraq and al Qaeda draw upon a near-infinite
number of recruits to help them drive us out of Iraq. It doesn't matter
how many we kill, because there are tens of thousands of them in the
ranks and waiting their turn to join. Killing them only helps them
recruit and makes them stronger.

When you have a president who cannot think outside of the box, young
Americans come home in one.

Harrry, you should have added the fact that you can do nothing but
whine about it, 'cause you, like the rest of the liberals, have no
ideas!
