B-Man Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Good Work gentlemen, keep it up. On a much more facetious note..........................who would want to be "al-Qaeda's No. 2" ? ? Don't we read this same headline 2 - 3 times a year ? It seem we are always killing #2. .

And I know it isn't a laughing matter but: “Initially, four people were killed, but when the militants reached the spot, another strike occurred that killed many more, raising the death toll to 16,” the source said. can't help but chuckle I mean I wouldn't flock to the scene of the crime if I were militant supporters...run al-Qaeda...run away. It's also a bit disturbing military successes like this cause people on the board to be snarky at the President. But it's not surprising. Edited June 5, 2012 by TheNewBills

And this drone attack is going to lead to that little three-letter word. Jobs. J-O-B-S.
3rdnlng Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 At some point in time we are going to have to capture some of the bad guys so we can give them the ultimate punishment of waterboarding them.
Juror#8 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I don't care who it is...I'm just glad that someone is systematically getting these !@#$ers. Before the Obama Administration, we were much too soft on prosecuting the war on terror. Just glad that someone is doing it and I hope the focus remains in a Romney Whitehouse. Good job Obama.

Imagine the global uproar if evil Bush had ordered wholesale drone strikes in a neighboring sovereign country that's not "part" of the GWOT? Nixon is rolling over in his grave.
