Thread: Iraq's Al-Qaeda Number 2 Killed

Did I just hear a toilet flush.

Good, but the problem remains that they are like a hydra, chop off one head and another grows.

True enough, but is the replacement head as effective as the recently departed one?

All other things being equal, it's possible, though not probable.

True, but commanders of these terror organisations have been killed before, at times with no real effect on the situation. Maybe his death will, maybe it wont.

There are however questions that are not answered in the article, was he identified as being in the building being one of them.

Wonder if this is part of the "strategy" Woodward was discussing in his new book. The one which scared the crap out of insurgency leadership.
