The New Number Two

Once again we have injured the top Al-Qaida leader in the field. It`s going to get to the point that Al-Qaida will not be able to recruit qualified candidates for this job.

I`m reminded of the old television show The Prisoner; the imprisoned hero is always bumping off #2 while sipping drugged tea and being chased by giant silver balls, but never is able to learn the identity of #1 (until the finale, where he learns that HE is #1.) Al-Qaida is always promoting some schlub as the new #2, and that guy is always getting knocked off by the U.S. military.

Clearly, Al-Qaida is having personnel problems. Bin-Laden needs to offer a better compensation package; bonuses, golden parachutes, stock options are all good ideas which he should seriously consider implementing. He is offering 72 virgins and a mule, but his incentives are all back-loaded, and his #2`s keep getting themselves killed so as to enjoy their retirement. He needs to restructure in such a way as to make rewards dependent upon meeting set goals. Maybe he can get some help from George Soros?

Actually, he has been getting considerable assistance from the U.S. Congress, which has been talking ``redeployment`` and votes of no-confidence, and this has helped shore up his sagging Jihad. Government subsidies are helpful, but success ultimately hinges on an appropriate advertising campaign. Fortunately, Mr. Bin-Laden has all of the best firms working pro-bono for him! CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, Turner Network Television, Time, The New York Times, and a host of other powerhouse outlets have launched a media blitz aimed at shoring up Al-Qaida`s sagging public opinion ratings. If his new #2 manages to stay alive long enough to launch some aggressive new campaigns these outlets will surely declare defeat for America and Congress will have the cover they need to surrender.

The icing on the Jihadist cake for Bin-Laden would be a Hillary presidency; her official policy will probably be ``apologetics`` whereby she flies around the world apologizing to every single person we have harmed since Columbus. This type of partnership between Jihadist business and government will guarantee strong growth for Al-Qaida, and will assure a bright future for Sharia and Mr. Bin-Laden`s corporate entity.

Now, has anybody seen #2?

"The insurgents’ intention is to wait out the surge, and with the corruption of the Iraqi political scene with militia and Iranian influence, when the surge is finished, the Iraqi government may not be capable of continuing the security provided by the U.S. forces.}From the Captains Journal
I think #1,#2,#3etc have high tailed out of Iraq to sit out the debates going on in this country. They may be as*backward Islamics but they arent stupid and some can read English and read our dailies on the web. They only are waiting for the Dhimmicrats to do what they cant.

Absolutely right, Mike; the Insurgents understand America all too well, and they knew they could count on the Democrats and Media to Vietnamize the war.

Why hasn`t America suffered a major attack? Because it would galvanize our spirit, and the enemy knows better than to do that. We`ll win if we wake from our slumber-they need to keep us asleep.

D***, Tim! I love it! '72 virgins and a mule!' Throw in a gin and tonic and an all-you-can-eat buffet and maybe we can get Kennedy to shut up.

Bin Laden does give incentives, to be killed by the U.S military & then they can have their 72 virgins & a mule. I can't help but wonder how many of these pin heads would prefer the mule.

Hey Mike A-how about throwing in a waitress to sandwhich, and some scuba gear?

Good point, Beerman; Mules can`t talk back!

I`ve often pondered the 72 virgins bit; imagine being married to 72 versions of Hillary Clinton! I don`t think this promise is going to pan out the way these Jihadists think...
