For At Least The Third Time, Officials Take Down A ‘No. 2′ Leader Of Al Qaeda In Iraq

Now stay down damn it, your making us look like liars......voice of the white house

In all fairness, when an organization - any organization - loses a high-ranking member, the position is soon filled by a different person, who assumes the same role. It is perfectly reasonable to assume there have been several successive "No. 2 leaders" of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

If the person with that title was recently captured or killed, it's a sure bet that a new person will be appointed to the role very soon.

Precisely Djinn. It must be a slow news day in conspiracy land. The article specifically states that on each occassion it was a different person.

From your own link:

Sept. 2005: U.S. and Iraqi officials announce that they killed al Qaeda in Iraq’s No. 2 leader — Abdallah Najim Abdallah Mohammed al-Juwari, known as Abu Azzam. A spokesman for Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari said that Azzam’s death was a “painful blow” to al Qaeda.

June 2006: U.S. and Iraqi officials announce that they have killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the No. 1 leader of al Qaeda in Iraq. President Bush called his death a “severe blow” to the terrorist group.

Sept. 2006: Iraqi authorities capture Hamed Jumaa Farid al-Saeedi, known as Abu Humam or Abu Rana, al Qaeda in Iraq’s No. 2 leader. Iraqi national security adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie said that the arrest left the terrorist organization suffering a “serious leadership crisis.” “Our troops have dealt fatal and painful blows to this organization,” he added.

Michaelr - These names are remarkably dissimilar. What leads you to believe that they're all the same person?

Your correct, thanks. I read the first two then had to chase down the grand daughter, I should have reread this.

When I see a posting that's far fetched, unsupported or just plain nonsense I confront it.
