Although the AQ leadership praises suicide bombers as glorious martyrs, they themselves don’t want to die. This development has them crapping in their robes.

1. Is this the one they captured?
2. Is there any other kind of Alqaida than ‘top’?

No....different instances.

The guy captured was senior to the one killed.

Note to Congress. Quit waving white flags and pretending like they are sheets on your cots. This is what we want to see more of: precision-guided weapons killing terrorists.

Peace work, neatly done, reasonable rates. Inquire, 1-888-PENTAGON and leave off the last N for nuclear.

155mm “Excalibur” shells

Nicely covered on an episode of Discovery Channel's "FutureWeapons".

It sure seems to be a leap forward in artillery in terms of precision,
accuracy and diminuation of collateral damage.

They change their names more often than their . . . (was going to say underwear, but I actually don't know and don't care.)

If the accuracy keeps improving on these things, we’ll be able to put one right up a terrorist’s arsehole without blinking.
