Military killed "key al Qaeda leader" twice.

"The U.S. command in Baghdad this week ballyhooed the killing of a key al Qaeda leader but later admitted that the military had declared him dead a year ago. A military spokesman acknowledged the mistake after it was called to his attention by The Examiner. He said public affairs officers will be more careful in announcing significant kills."

Mission Accomplished! Ummm' again! Kinda. Well, maybe not this second time. But we sure accomplished that mission the first time. We think.

Maybe they'd better kill him a third time to make sure!

Oops Razz

From the Examiner article:

Quote:
Brig. Gen. Kevin Bergner began his Monday news conference with a list of top insurgents either killed or captured in recent operations. He said they had been eliminated "in the past few weeks" and were "recent results."

[..]

When The Examiner pointed out that Uthman's death had been announced twice, a command spokesman said in an e-mail, "You are correct that we did previously announce that we killed him. This was a roll up to show an overall effort against [al Qaeda in Iraq]. We can probably do a better job on saying 'previously announced' when we do long-term roll ups to show an overall effort."

They're not very good at fibbing, either... Smile

Didn't this happen before, too? This sounds familiar.

You liberals just don't understand how dangerous these terrorists are, and how important it is to kill them as often as possible.

If he died twice, does that mean he gets twice as many virgins?

I don't know, but the point is that America's mission is twice as accomplished.

Gooooood little Eurotard! Smile It's okay to say 'terrorist' as long as you don't say 'muslim terrorist'. You learn fast.

Depends on where his mortal wound was Smile

(Hopefully they didn't dunk him in water, though. It's well known that dunking them in water is a huge no-no. And American lives aren't worth THAT, after all.)
