Jan. 13, 2006 Today, according to Pakistani military sources, U.S. aircraft attacked a compound known to be frequented by high level al Qaeda operatives. Pakistani officials tell ABC News that al Qaeda leader Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, may have been among them.
U.S. intelligence for the last few days indicated that Zawahiri might be in the location or about to arrive, although there is still no confirmation from U.S. officials that he was among the victims.

I'm with ya there!
You can't understand why we don't have 500,000 troops in Afghanistan?
How about because it didn't work for the Russians....
I was with you in the beginning, but now I am not. Go back to the dark side.
Coming in late to the thread. Sorry if this has been posted:
MSNBC: "One official said intelligence indicated a strong possibility that Zawahri was in the Pakistani village at the time of the airstrike, but there is no confirmation that he was killed." And quoting source: Anyone who tells you there is clarity on whether he [Zawahri] was killed ... do not take what they are saying as gospel. A reliable source with high-level U.S. contacts tells me that U.S. "really believes" we might have whacked him.

That has to be one of the dumbest posts ever.
Hahaha! You are always looking for the Judge!
"Do you really believe we have complete imbeciles running this show, that they would not make every effort to secure such a valuable strike zone?"
Good point Coop. If there were 10 Predator drones sent in (as another poster has alleged), firing 10 hellfire missles, I suspect there might just be a little bit of DNA evidence left that wasn't carried away with any bodies carried off. I'm not sure how many people were at this site, but if 10 hell fire missles were fired, one must objectively ask, "How much is there to be carried off, and how many are left to carry off?" Hmmmmmm?
Considering the extent to which these cowards were going to, to hide, there is even the possibility that the ran off in the night not even looking back.
"YOU TELL THEM WE'RE COMING! AND HELL'S COMING WITH US! DO YOU HEAR!"
Whoa! You must have checked off one of the BIG boxes. Did you slam it down everytime Teddy opened his mouth during the hearing?
Would be nice if word got out that harboring Al Qaida may result in your entire village disappearing.
would you like to have invaded Pakistan? explain to us how that would have worked,should we have invaded Pakistan, a nuclear power, in force, smashing civilian villages in the tribal regions - to get a modestly small number of guys?
In that war, the Democrats were on our side.
I just got home from work, what is happening? was this a drone/UAV attack? where in Pakistan was this?
In that war, the Democrats were on our side.
And the press.
A very obvious post, he sounded like one of those seminar callers on C-span. Poor DUmmy, he only lasted a couple of months here before he exposed himself. There are FreepDummies who have been on DU for YEARS..
Did the CIA leak include how many children, puppies and kittens were killed?
