Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, who is one of the FBI's most-wanted terrorists, was the target of a U.S. missile strike on a residence in Dobley, a small town in southern Somalia near the Kenyan border, according to a U.S. military official who spoke to The Times on the condition of anonymity because of the nature of the operation.

Finally, he’s doing something useful. Did you notice how much he resembles a prominent American politician?

Yup my heart jumped some, but then I realized just how much it must suck to be the #2 or the #3 or even the #4 guy in AQ over there, since we keep killing the #1 guys so much....As you advance in the chain of command, your life expectancy shrinks by an order of magnitude.

At $500k a piece, it was a good investment I think.

Less than it would've cost if he'd been captured and tried in a court with lawyers and the whole get up.

He was from Kenya?
Wasn’t B. Hussein Obama’s dad from Kenya?

Any chance they’re related?

" It’s pretty clear that Bush wants things mopped up as much as possible before he turns over the keys."

Damned right, because he knows that whoEVER succeeds him isn't going to do whatcha might call "jackshit" to carry on the good work.
