Whack-a-mole, al-Qaeda style

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The operational commander of al-Qaida, possibly the No. 3 official in the terrorist organization, was killed early Thursday by a CIA missile attack on a safehouse in Pakistan, officials have told NBC News.

Isn't it amazing how often we kill the "No. 2" guy or "Number 3?" It is al-Qaeda whack-a-mole! "I just whacked No. 2! Wait, I just whacked No. 3! I got No. 2 again!"

By the way, I have a pretty good idea who the "official" was that that sourced this story:


Besides, even suggesting that al-Qaeda has anything like an organizational structure:
merely shows a complete lack of understanding of the nature of the beast.
