I would disagree. The Witch-King was the "captain" of Sauron's armies, leading them into battle, while Saruman was counted on to produce his own armies, and the Mouth was more of an ambassador of sorts, until the other two were removed. (i.e. President, V-P, Speaker, Secretary o' State; I've just realized the extreme similarity between American government and Sauron's power pyramid. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

That said, I think that the chain of command, were Sauron removed would be: Saruman, Witch-King (if alive), and then the infamous Mouth.
