Top terrorist in Yemen now heads 'steadfastly to God' . . . or somewhere.
Drone strike kills Al Qaeda's No 2 in commandIt seems like we get these number two guys a lot, but in fairness, we did get that number one guy some time back. Even so, the more dead Al Qaeda the better. So nice job, America, and no apologies for the use of the drone.
The objective of war is not to die for your country, as Gen. Patton is rumored to have said. It’s to make the other poor dumb bastard die for his - not a country, in this case, but an entire outfit of bastards:

How many of these 2nd-in-command types do they have?

Well - it IS black-on-black. That always gets a pass.
Being second in command is like being a Star Trek red shirt...
They’ll make more.
Too damn many, apparently.
One less worm.
assassination,,,
huh ,,What ??
He wanted his Virgins and to cut off you’re noggin,,,
suppose You can call him what ever you want to.
ASSASSINATE: “to kill suddenly or secretively, especially a politically prominent person”
That is the definition; it matches the use of ordnance where the political leaders never know what hits them.
Please understand: I am all for it; it’s just that the act is not even questioned when it’s done by their boy. But just let a conservative president try it.
It pains me to say it; but assassination is the only thing brocko has done well.
