Really, even if we caught him what doe it matter wouldn't number two step up into his place anyways?
We did not catch him, the Iraqi government troops caught him.
((A man with a similar name had been arrested in the northern city of Mosul)).
No disrespect intended, but don't they all have similar names? Surprised it has not happened before.
And if number two steps in place it is still one less.
"No disrespect intended, but don't they all have similar names? Surprised it has not happened before."
Is that like saying all black people look similar?
They don't all have 'similar' names, but just like any culture there are a lot of "Johns," "Jeffs" and "Mr.Smiths."

Dionys, did you read the article?
If you did then you would know info about the who was arrested AND the confusion came from the commander of Iraqi forces in the Mosul, not the US.
Are you lecturing the Iraqi's them selves about their culture?
FTA
"Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammed al-Askari said the confusion arose because the commander of Iraqi forces in the Mosul region was convinced that he had arrested al-Masri รข;; also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir".
One person being confused by one person's name when thinking it could be a different person doesn't imply that there is a general "confusion" surrounding all names, nor does it imply that all Iraqis or Arabs have similar names. Don't they teach basic logic these days?
The capture of any any al Qaida militant is good news.
1 down, 2,345,523 to go!
Kinda like making a thousand dollar payment on the interest only portion of the 10 trillion Bush National Debt. Better than nothing, even though the interest alone is a billion per day.
"The capture of any any al Qaida militant is good news."
It sure is. Now if we could only be sure he's actually an al-Qaida militant and not a bread baker taken in a mistaken "raid."

"Is that like saying all black people look similar?"
No Dionys, its like saying the Iraqi Commander was convinced that he had arrested al-Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir" based on name, looks, whatever.
"Don't they teach basic logic these days?"
Yes and basic logic would tell the Iraqi commander same name (s) AKAs, matches description, hey look who we got.
Kinda sorta ya know what happened.
"Is that like saying all black people look similar?"
Are you still beating your mother?
I am sure that you know that the name catstevens, is identical to that of a very famous singer with very different views than those which you expose here.
Since I am sure that you recognize the similarity in your names, I find it hard to believe that you would even think of writing such a comment.
I hear ya cat. It's like John Smith or Cat Stevens.
Cat,
You are one silver-tongued lady. You really know how to brighten up a party.
It would have been what, the sixth one we have taken down?
Playing wack-a-jihadi against a small piece of the puzzle is not going to get the job done.
You would prefer a more far-reaching whack-all-jihadis... in one fell swoop approach?
"Really, even if we caught him what doe it matter wouldn't number two step up into his place anyways?"
Well, wouldn't that be the same case if we captured Bin Laden? Hell, by bother at all? Let's just let them keep killing thousands of innocent people at a time. They'll just keep doing it, anyway.
Completely amazing.
Even if it is mistaken identity, at least Iraqi forces are doing more and more of the leg work all the time. More and more progress is being made.
"Well, wouldn't that be the same case if we captured Bin Laden? Hell, by bother at all?"
Bush's certainly taken the why-bother-at-all going after Bin Laden.
Maybe because the Bin Laden group owns his testes?
You clearly have no grasp on reality.
Really? So where's the comprehensive plan to actually capture the person behind 9/11? Which family group is Bush's family's best investors and friends?
That's right! No comprehensive plan to get Bin Laden (no plan at all, in fact) and.. drumroll please
The Bin Laden Group! (Well. The House of Saud, too.)
LOL. yeah, right, the "Bush is best buddies with Bin LAden BS.
I thought you libs said catching al Qaeda leaders didn't do any good?
For all you know, the man is dead. When you have a vast expanse of mountain chains and live like a hermit, it's pretty easy to stay hidden.
