Number 3?

Officials: CIA missile strike kills al-Qaida No. 3


How many times is this that we've "killed their number 3"? How many number 3 guys do these people have?

The following is from Bill Maher's May 6th, 2005 broadcast - seven months ago:

BILL MAHER: So I guess you read in the paper yesterday, as we all did, that apparently we have captured the number-three man in Al Qaeda. Does it seem to you that this is about the fifth time we've captured the “number-three man”? In Al Queda? I mean, how many number-three men do they have over there in Al Qaeda?

MADELEINE ALBRIGHT: It's very hard to tell. And the problem is that we haven't captured the number-one man, though we have thousands of troops there looking for him.


That was seven months ago.

Personally, I think they may be feeding us some Number Two.
