I should have known better. I actualy teach this in my tactical Arabic classes:
01 (Wahid) = None or maybe even 1, if they feel especially honest
02 (Ithnayn) = One, Maybe
03 (Thalatha) = One, for sure
10 (Ashura) = Two
15 = Three
100 = Ten
1000 = 25
Too much = 26
It is Very Bad = SVBIED or any assessment of the enemy
It is Very Much Bad = 3 or more Jihadis, or any unacceptable interruption of kabab, shisha or tea breaks
It is Too Much Bad = Any Muj position they have to attack
It is Too Very Much Bad = Kababs cannot be found, like, anywhere!
So by this initial report I guess I can add "We have killed the #1 Al Qaeda" to mean = We REALLY don't want to have to find this guy ... he is already dead, see!?
