Harry,
I thought you wanted to set up a giant "Marshall Plan" and rebuild Iraq as
an example to the other middle east countries. Did you change your mind?

Senior Al Qaeda commander killed in Pakistan
Sat Dec 3, 2005 1:48 PM GMT

By Zeeshan Haider

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!

Here's an idea, John.

Tell the Iraqis they are in charge of their country, and however it turns
out, it is their problem.

Then...

Leave.

Oh, and make sure the terrorists know that we're likely not to elect an
idiot POTUS in 2008, and therefore in January 2009 we'll have someone in
charge who will demand that we have a rational foreign policy.

That might buy us some time, eh?
