    Default Third High-Ranking Al-Qaeda Figure Killed In Iraq

    April 20, 2010
    Iraqi and U.S. troops killed a regional leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq today, the third top terrorist reported killed in that country in the past 24 hours.

    An Iraqi military spokesman, Qassim al-Musawi, said U.S. and Iraqi joint forces launched a morning attack in the northern province of Niniveh, killing suspected insurgent leader Ahmed al-Obeidi.

    Al-Musawi said the slain insurgent, known as Abu Suhaib, was in charge of Al-Qaeda in Iraq's operations in the provinces of Kirkuk, Salahuddin, and Niniveh.

    On April 19, the Iraqi government said two top Al-Qaeda leaders -- Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri -- were killed in a joint operation with the U.S. forces.

    Soon they will be erecting statues and monuments to George W. Bush over there.

    Why do you say that? How many high ranking Al Qaeda in Iraq figures were in Iraq before the Iraq War?

    Who cares? Shit attacks flies from all over, and once you get them in one place hit the pile with bug killer.

    Who cares? Well, for starters, the people that you claim will be erecting monuments and statutes to George W. Bush.

    I think you may want to mull this one over a bit. Your logic is less than sound.

    But you just know that someone will say that there was a training camp in Northern Iraq, before the war, despite the CIA stating there were no formal links between al-Qaeda and the Iraqi regime.

    Again? More "top leaders" killed...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Not at all. If I was part of a movement to eradicate mid-east terrorism, I'd be that much happier to have the bastards come visit me and save me the trouble of hunting them out-of-country. It makes the victory that much sweeter.
