Who is the current #2-al-Zarqawi or al-Zawahiri? |
|
I thought al-Zarqawi was the #2 or is that only in Iraq where al-Zawahiri is Osama's #2? I am confused.
According to Wikipedia, paraphrased, Al-Zawahiri is Osama's doctor and lieutenant. Al-Zarqawi is the many legged Jordanian with schrapnel sticking out of his chest. So I guess it depends on whether or not #2 means of Iraq al Qaeda or Osama's al Qaeda?
Help please.

1. They're both #2, as in B.S. |
|
the boys in the WH made up to personify what we're supposed to fear.
The Zarqawi pic looks like some old passport photo from 1950's Iraq.

6. That's what I thought, am getting confused by the media & administration |
|
And I agree with madeline_con in that "#2" is a bunch of crap. al-Zarqawi is the #2 guy who hops on, miraculously avoiding death again and again to rise again and again. But al-Zawahiri is the #2 guy who we all need to picture and fear. How many #3s have they gone through recently I wonder. Thanks Caleb

3. OK, to bring it down to my level |
|
if Osama is like Cobra Commander, then Al-Zawahiri would be Destro? Right? but that would make Al-Zarqawi..........

4. Al-Zawahiri is the Karl Rove of al-Qaeda |
|
He's the brains behind it and is probably the one running the show.
