PESHAWAR, Pakistan - At least four foreign terrorists died in the U.S. airstrike on a Pakistani border village that was purportedly aimed at al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, the provincial government said Tuesday.
A statement by the administration of the Pakistan's tribal region bordering Afghanistan also said that between 10 and 12 foreign extremists had been invited to dinner at the village hit in Friday's attack.

DNA from a blood sample doesn't tell you where the sample was taken from unless you were there to observe. All the legal programs on television have given such a mystique to DNA testing that DNA has become the be all and end all of solving all mysteries. DNA results are merely a series of line similar to a barcode which must be analyzed for a match with a known sample.
Let's see if this is the only place I read this story.
To all these terrorists...
Life Sucks and then You Die......
This is your Future.
and the mullahs are Lying...There are no Virgins.
Your "heaven" is a room filled with all your friends...
and You have to "Share" one woman...and She looks exactly like Hilliary Clinton.
I made my point pretty clearly. As did another poster.
In addition to my earlier reply, Zawahiri could have provided his own blood to have it splashed around the bombing site to fake his own death. The possibilities of how his DNA at site got there are unlimited.
The news said that the DNA teating was compaired to Zawahiri's Brother..who is in jail in Egypt.
When compaired with His brother, it is very precise.
On the Sitcom "Sanford and Son", Fred Sanford was always claiming he was about to have "the big one"...a heart attack over something...and was about to leave this world and join his late wife Elizabeth.
Okay, Quincy. I see you're in broadcast mode. Carry on.
I am not contesting the accuracy of DNA testing, but I am questioning how the DNA got there and whether its presence absolutely proves that he was killed or merely injured.
Haha! I remember that now and thanks.
When the facts are are your side argue the facts, when the law is on your side argue the law, when neither the facts nor the law are on your side use snide remarks or resort to name calling.
"A statement by the administration of Bajur, the Pakistan's tribal region bordering Afghanistan, also said that 10 to 12 foreign extremists had been invited to dinner at the village hit in Friday's attack.
Pakistani intelligence officials have said Ayman al-Zawahiri, Usama bin Laden's top lieutenant, had been invited to a dinner in the targeted village of Damadola to mark an Islamic holiday but did not show up and sent some aides instead."
Sounds like our intel was pretty dang good after all, huh.
DUmmie Dems need to just shut up and get out of the way.

It is worse than you think!
ROFL! {shudder!}
Congrats on the socks!
Are you still in the sandbox?
You've already been put in your place. Perhaps try a little more back-and-forth next time, as opposed to lecturing, hmmm?

The Predator strike has been widely denounced as a "botched" attempt to kill Zawahiri. It appears, on the contrary, that it was a well-executed strike that would have succeeded if Zawahiri had shown up for dinner. In addition to killing a number of aides who were evidently close to Zawahiri, the attack, which was apparently based on human intelligence, should have good effects. It presumably will arouse suspicion and confusion in al Qaeda over the identity of the informant and the depth of our penetration of the organization or its allies, and it will remind villagers in the region of the dangers involved in aiding the terrorists.
Back-and-forth is useful only when those engaging in a conversation are rational and refrain from name calling and snide remarks. If I was put in my place, I must have been placed on the right of this issue.
I wonder what page the corrections will show up on?
