U.S. Special Forces killed Al Qaeda's  No. 2 terror mastermind in Iraq, Defense Department officials say.

FOX News has confirmed that Abu Azzam, who was believed to have been in charge of the financing of terrorist cells in the war-torn country, was killed during a raid in Baghdad Sunday. Azzam is thought to be the top deputy to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraq's most wanted terrorist.

DAMNIT.  Although I love hearing news like this, when am I going to hear that US Special Forces have killed Bin Laden or Zarqawi.  Why is it always the No. 2 guy

I bet "The Terrorist Formerly Known As #3" is sweating bullets right now.

Because when you're number two, you try harder.

I suspect the #2 guys are the operations chiefs. Since they do operations, they have more communications contacts with the rest of the world, and thus more ways to get compromised. The #1 guys are probably mostly figureheads, and try to keep their day-to-day contacts with both operations and the rest of the world to a minimum.

Every time one of the top terrorists communicates with someone they're risking compromise. The #2 guys have to communicate a lot, so they're more likely to get rolled up.

There will be much joy when Zarqawi and/or Bin Laden get theirs....I hope it's gruesome and the pics are vivid and closeup.  I'd love for them to have their heads on a stick and paraded around.

this is exactly why it's paramount that they capture #2 guys alive....

I can't wait until we kill #1 through #1,000,000,000.

That should solve the problem.

they dont tell you about the number 1 guy

They won't tell us if they get the number one guy. It is better for them to just fade from memory then to make them a marter for the radicals.
Just glad we got the number 2 guy, now the number 1 will start running scared and thats when they start making mistakes and becomes just another body in the pile

There will just be another terrorist asshole to take his place. Just ask the Israelis how many "senior leaders" of Hamas and Islamic Jihad they have killed. There is no shortage of people willing to take this guy's place.

But the Israelis also say that the guy that replaces him is not as good or as smart either.

Are the Israelis giving terrorists IQ tests these days?
Link Posted: 9/27/2005 2:12:25 AM EDT
[#24]
No but the terrorist are not as sharp as the previous ones.  Their attacks are less coordinated, egress routes not as good and generally not as tactically sound as the predecessor.

probably due to israel's new fence but, when hamas/islamic jihad finally retaliated for the killing of No. 1 of Hamas (and no. 2, the new no. 1 just a few days later) it took them 6 MONTHS to get a suicide bomb into israel and it only killed a couple people....that contrasts with before during the height of the 'intifada' when they were able to retaliate next day or within a week and blow up a Sbarros , a disco, or a bus and kill 20+ people.

No, somehow, after reading your posts previously, I don't think that was your point at all.  I think most people know exactly where you're coming from.

i do  not want bin laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, mullet omar, or Ayman al-Zawahir killed

honestly i dont

i want to see all three on permanent display, naked each in his own cage (small and forcing them to sort of squat, but fixed so they cant sit down) hanging in the plaza where the two twin towers were. i want doctors on hand 24*7 to make sure they don't die before their time. i want them to live to be very old.
