#1 What does it take to be a Qaeda chief?

A flip of a coin?

What is the ratio of chief to peons?

Why doesn't Qaeda honor the English language law of "u" following Q?

Were they trying to pervert the rules of Scrabble?

#3 Mosul is full of Sunni hating Kurds. I am suprised that al-Qaeda has a presence there.

#4 Saddam displaced Kurds and moved in Baathist sunnis to control the oil there.

The Kurds are moving back, but al Q and the Baathists, both, aren't giving up their stolen property and control without a fight.
