#1 She'd look sexier widout the cheek, lip gloss, + prob the beret.

Thats two Qaeda affiliates for AYMAN.

AYMAN 2, AWLAKI 0, OTHER 0 [AFAIK], although Ayman may want to consider donating his points to AwLaki + Other.

To wit,

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > [WH NatSecAdv Tom Donilon] US NOW LOOKING FOR ZAWAHIRI.

* SAME > Al-QAEDA IN IRAQ SUPPORTS ZAWAHIRI, VOWS REVENGE.

* SAME > AL-QAEDA GROUP [AQIM = Maghreb] CLAIM BIN LADEN TRIUMPH IN ARAB REVOLTS. Regional Muslims encourages to rise up and fight the "AMERICAN ZIONIST WESTERN UNJUST AGGRESSORS".

Gaawd, anuther long one.

#3 OOOOppsies, forgot BHARAT RAKSHAK > WHITE HOUSE: AL-QAEDA NOT "STRATEGICALLY DEFEATED" WID BIN LADEN DEATH.

Ex-POTUS Dubya's "long war" taint over just becuz the US got Osama - ditto for Radical Islam's jihad.

The strategic strategy of strategeery ....

#4 Seems to me that the #2 automatically becomes #1 when #1 is offed. That's the point of being #2, isn't it? That Ayman has to beg for support doesn't bode well for him. Neither does the big "Shoot Me" sign on his back.

#6 Seems to me that the #2 automatically becomes #1 when #1 is offed. That's the point of being #2, isn't it?

One would think so, Spot, but most organizations do not have that 'promote from within' culture that armed forces and a few corporations like Procter & Gamble are noted for...which is why so many#2s end up parachuted in as the top guy for another company. Proof that Dr. al Zawahiri ought not be promoted is how much he is struggling now, after only few days at the helm.
