How many No. 2s does Al-Qaida have?

[DainBramaged]

We've been killing No. 2 for what almost 10 years. What about No. 1 is this like Where's Waldo? It just gets silly after a while. And who made hm No. 2?

[Tx4obama]

1. I was thinking the same thing earlier.

Apparently every time No. 2 is killed there is a new No. 2
I'd hate to be a No. 3 - knowing that my turn would be coming up soon ;)

[Kennah]

6. When #1 or #2 gets killed, #3 makes a whole new #2

[pinboy3niner]

2. "Reply hazy, try again"

:evilgrin:

[krispos42]

3. It's more of a binary system, I believe...

[Rhiannon12866]

4. You beat me to it, LOL.

This has to be the most unpopular job on earth... :crazy:

[krispos42]

5. It's like swatting flies

*whap*

"I just killed the #2 fly that's been bothering me!"


Rinse and repeat

[Rhiannon12866]

8. ROFL!

But who would possibly want the job, with those requirements?! :shrug: :rofl:

[krispos42]

9. The retirement benefits

An eternity in heaven fucking your brains out with gorgeous, sensual women of indescribable skill... or an eternity eating feces and drinking boiling piss.



Your choice!

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Sounds tempting, but I'll pass...

x(

[krispos42]

11. Me too, especially since you don't know for sure what they are...

...until it's far too late to change your mind.


I'm betting there are an awful lot of people drinking boiling piss that were very surprised to find themselves doing so.

"Wait... stoning my sinful daughter was wrong?"

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I've traveled a bit, but I admit that this is one culture that I'll never understand.

And I think that's a big part of the problem, none of us Westerners really do, and probably never will. :(

[krispos42]

14. I'm sure plenty of Christians are in the same place.

You don't think people like Jerry Falwell are strumming a harp on a cloud, do you? :rofl:

[Rhiannon12866]

15. I don't think it's what you believe that's important, but how you live your life.

And I wouldn't want to be Jerry Falwell any more than I'd want to be Osama bin Laden. I admit to not understanding him, either. x(

[bulloney]

40. Al Qaida has more number 2's than a hog with diarrhea.

[Romulox]

31. Hilarious! nt

[PurityOfEssence]

7. That's gotta be the worst job in the world

Nothing means anything anymore.

[jmowreader]

12. It's called Al Qaeda, but it's really Amway Qaeda

With all the Number 2 guys we've killed, the only thing I can think of is AQ is a MLM terror organization. The bigger your downline of Number 2 guys is, the more money you make because Amway Qaeda uses the same recruiting rules as the John Dillinger Died for You Society: you're allowed to charge anything you want, and keep it because Osama would have wanted it that way.

[Uben]

16. #2 is a position, not a person

It's not that hard to understand.

[kenny blankenship]

17. They strive for one Number Two per day.

It's not that unusual, I think.

[Shrek]

18. We haven't been killing #2 for 10 years

Ayman al-Zawahiri was #2 for many years and he's still alive.

I think this is actually the first time we've bagged a #2 guy.

[bluestate10]

20. I was shocked by how RW the OP's question sound.

I was in a Yahoo news blog when the news of the strike was first posted. The RW posters went nuts with questioning the #2 killing, even to the extent of calling the announcement a lie. Now I see a similar path being taken on DU. It seems all about de-legitimizing President Obama, from where ever the path.

[EFerrari]

21. DU has been cracking jokes about the endless number of number twos

since Bush went into Afghanistan. In fact, I think Al Qaida means "Number Two".

[DainBramaged]

23. Don't bother, he'll never get it.

[EFerrari]

26. This Number Two thing is in the genre "Lies the Brass Tells the Press", isn't it?

"It was only a few bad apples" and "all the dead are terrorists" are two other notable examples.

[DainBramaged]

28. "We don't kill civilians", "it's a good war" "God is on our side"

Yep.

[DainBramaged]

22. You are so off-base it is pathetic

Put on your tin foil hats folks, every post delegitimizes The President.


Bullshit



Shame

[Romulox]

33. LOL. Now, not cheering "our sides" killing and propaganda is "rightwing".

OK, Mr. American Eagle. :eyes:

[hobbit709]

19. As many as a pencil factory.

[theHandpuppet]

24. How many No. 2's do we kill before our troops can leave?

This is like whack-a-mole. I want our troops to come home!

[treestar]

25. When we kill number 2, obviously number 3 is promoted

But we got OBL, so now we should be after the new #1.

[LLStarks]

27. Not enough. I don't mind if we keep killing them. nt

[DainBramaged]

29. Is there a point when the killing stops, or is it ok to just keep killing them?

[former9thward]

34. As long as it gives us a reason to stay in Asian wars

the killing will never stop. The CIA arbitrarily designates #2s and #1s for that matter when it needs publicity by a willing and lazy media.

[Zax2me]

30. I want his health plan. Multiple life coverage.

Appears even death is covered and drugs available to bring you back to life over and over.

[Alexander]

32. We still have to get this guy:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

35. Enough to keep us bankrupting our country and wasting lives in needless lost wars.

[HopeHoops]

36. There's plenty of shit to go around.

[Broderick]

37. LMAO

I saw a headline about that and I wondered the same thing! I guess they have a different "structure" to their hierarchy!

[blkmusclmachine]

38. As many as the MIC wants:

We're in Permanent War.

[BlueMTexpat]

39. This entire thread is DUzy-worthy! Thank you for this much-needed set of chuckles! nt
