I think it was a few days ago they claimed to have killed one of his top guys. They killed another one today and reports claim al-Masri was injured.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The leader of al Qaeda in Iraq has been wounded and his top aide killed in a clash with police, an Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman told CNN Thursday.
The spokesman said Iraqi police encountered an insurgent group on the road between Falluja and Samarra and, in a firefight, wounded Abu Ayyub al-Masri.
Abu Abdullah al-Majamiai, al-Masri's top aide, was killed, he said.
The spokesman said Iraqi police have the body of al-Majamiai and would not comment on the whereabouts of al-Masri.
The U.S. military had no comment on the report.
This would be the guy who took over for al-Zaqwari.

Wow, the surge is clearly a total success. Like Nelson at Trafalgar. If your leader gets another carrier landing and a nice Mission Accomplished banner will he just declare victory and call his little Iraq adventure over? It's starting to get expensive...

"It's starting to get expensive...."
So is trying to take care of everyone sponging off the people through welfare, but you guys refuse to cut spending there...
You quit giving hand outs and free-rides and then you can complain on whats expensive and whats not

He probably got shot in the back running for his friends in Iran.
Talk about sour grapes... You see success, you see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and you want to see failure. Failure means more troop deaths... It's not right. I thought liberals wanted out of Iraq within a year? The best way would be to crush the enemy, but liberals dream of our failure in Iraq, because they know that if they are wrong on Iraq, it mean the Democrats are the new Whigs.
Get over it, we are making progress, we are killing our enemy, and we will win... Every time you see success you have to turn it around and attempt to use it against George Bush...
They call that sour grapes... Your camp is losing and you know it.

4 years and you idiots have NOTHING to show for things in Iraq other than HUNDREDS of billions of $ squandered, thousands dead and a situation that would actually have to improve in order to be classified as a civil war. Complete.utter.failure. Keep staying the course!

Consider yourself one of the idiots. Funny how the hero from shithole Buffalo (the whole shitty city has plywood on the windows) can post someone's home address and phone # and then get so offended.
