Officials: Top 2 al-Qaida in Iraq leaders killed

Source: Associated Press

BAGHDAD –The two top al-Qaida in Iraq figures have been killed in a joint operation by American and local forces, Iraq's prime minister and U.S. military officials said Monday.

The deaths were touted by America's top general in Iraq as possibly the most significant blow to the terror group since the beginning of the insurgency and a sign of the growing strength of Iraqi security forces.

Now can we get the hell out Mr. President?

Weekly? Bi-weekly.

Al Qaida is now a brand name for the Islamic world

that job is almost as dangerous as "drummer for Spinal Tap" or "Keyboard player for the Grateful Dead".

THE LAST 50 FUCKING TIMES THEY USED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whole "wa on terra" reminds me of V for Vendetta. The people here still haven't woken up yet.

And we're creating them by the generation-ful.

Right. Its definitely not homegrown insurgency.....right? Just foreign terrorists...

The people from Iraq are too busy throwing flowers to plant IEDs

Of course, prior to Operation Iraqi Liberation, there WAS no Al-Qaida in Iraq.

Our pulling out of Iraq or Gitmo closing? I'm tired of this shit.

Gitmo ain't closing, they are merely negotiating with the GOP to change the address to Illinois.

Oh... Wait... :evilgrin:

President for rest of the term? Have the Al Qaeda birthers checked out where he was born to make sure he's eligible? Seem a prudent step. Shit, what if he's from Hawaii or something.

:rofl:

From Hawaii? Probably has a good tan then.
