File under: al-Qaeda in Iraq

#1 Wow, this guy operated for a while. AQI's emir in Baghdad, he's been through a lot to survive this long. However, it just takes one person to inform on him and do him in.

#3 had been al Qaeda in Iraq's "emir" of the Rusafa neighborhood of the capital.

Isn't it wonderful that even the big turbans are only neighborhood captains! And that in the old days the gentleman in question would no doubt have been a specialist, leaving actual management to those more qualified for the job. I think Al Qaeda in Iraq has completely given up trying to keep that #3 spot filled. When even trainee managers are disappearing faster than they can be hired, there's no point in thinking about promotability.

#4 may his innards be ever roasted and his balls be a delicacy in hell.

#5 Duh! These subjective claims barely pan out.

Duh! Gives group-thinkers and coffee-fetchers yet another opportunity to blow up the bubble of military competence.
