> [@Paul in Saudi](#): > > Al Quaeda’s #2 man? We are always killing or capturing the #2 guy. He ought to wear a red shirt a la Star Trek. Honestly this stupid meme is really getting on my nerves. Zawahiri has been #2 in Al qaeda for many years before 9/11. I don’t understand why so many people don’t seem to know this. Not picking on you in particular Paul, I see this all the time, several times in this thread. ---

**RNATB** , that’s why I emphasized differentiating between Al Qaeda and the totally different organization of Al Qaeda in Iraq. ---

This just shows how ignorant Al Qaeda really is about the US. Obama was _never_ a House Negro. He was a _Senate_ Negro. Now he’s an _Executive_ Negro. He’s also the Negro-In-Chief, which they may come to regret. ---

> [@Jolly\_Roger](#): > > Well, maybe I shouldn’t have. I’ve had a rough week and my nerves are kinda frayed.

The US government has officially claimed to have captured or killed the AQ #3 guy _five_ times.\* They have claimed to have killed the AQ in Iraq #1 and #2 guy a few times, I don’t have the exact numbers on that. But they have never claimed to have killed or captured the AQ #1 or #2, who are and have always been Osama and Ayman. \*Five different guys. You set 'em up, we knock 'em down. ---

> [@Bear\_Nenno](#): > > Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha. Just wait until you try to _out_ process!! Good luck getting that Dragon Stamp!! Hey, don’t tease! I’ve never been abywhere where NCOs are basically lumped in with privates while processing. Not only was it insulting and annoying (_**I have to report to a for a recall formation where I outrank the fuckin’ platoon sergeant? WTF?)**_ its counter productive. I’ll hijack my own thread by saying this but: [hijack] \*Someone was killed. a female soldier, some time ago. It could be rumor but what I’ve heard is that she was staying off post in a hotel and an ex-boyfriend killed her. The problem was that no one from replacement battalion noticed she was missing for several days. So in response the RB has imposed recall formations to account for everyone. My issue with this is that the formations are in the middle of the day hindering im-processing and that they don’t solve the problem. Its a “cover your ass” move by them. If I go out and get murdered at 1800 they can say “Well. he was alive at our recall formation at 1500.”. It doesn’t do anything for real safety. It did drag on my in processing though, and even my recieving unit commander agreed that its kinda dumb. While this has nothing to do with the OP it did make a crappy week a bit crappier and it being short tempered it did crank up my annoyance at everything. Sorry. I’m only human. \*[/hijack] I’ll agree that I jumped the gun with the OP but it irked me at the time when I was not ready to be irked. Still, I am kinda sick of these AQ dickheads. I’ll try to keep my hotheadedness to myself in the future. ---
