I’d be more inclined to believe Greg Craig is calling the shots. Zero probably doesn’t bother with such trivialities.
Funny tag line.
Jack could do all those things real good. Guess he was the last Kennedy with a brain.
If Obama really OK’ed this, then he gets my nod.
Hope team Øbama remembers that when they drag all of those 'innocent civilians' out, the claims of 'they were terrorists, the pictures were staged' won't fly with for him any better than they did for 'W'.
Unless we missed an opportunity to kill some terrorists. Then it would be Obama's fault.
Ditto.
And only five of them are "militants"!! Obama is acting just like Israel, killing helpless Muslim civilians. Oh, the humanity!!

You V E R Y carefully lift up its tail.
I’m a little surprised ... But GLAD, anytime WE kill a few members of AQ, it is a good day ...
If he keeps this up, I might be able to hate him just for his domestic policies only ...
Al-Queda and organized terrorists will be hard pressed to reorganize in 4 short years even with the "One" in office thanks to Bush hammering them for so long. Though they can and will rebuild, their ability to project force and keep leadership over their organziation is highly curtailed. The more Obama dismantles the WOT the more he will encounter an increasing curve of opposition from everyday Americans.
Waiting for ID and confirmation - looks like we killed a top 20 - high value target.
OBAMA KILLS 13 CIVILIANS
It's only the 23rd - it may have been one of President Bushes last salvos - whoever it was - good on them...they stick their heads up over the border, whack 'em...
TRUE! The Israelites have had 6,000 Hamas missiles land in the past year!
Good! Kudos to the eyes and ears on the ground and in the sky. .
We will have a better idea about that if there is another strike within a week or so.
