Senior U.S. and Pakistani officials tell NBC News that Wednesday’s Predator attack on a village in northwest Pakistan was not insignificant, that a “high-value target … an Arab” was among those killed. U.S. officials believe the unnamed target was planning attacks outside Pakistan, “so we nailed him,” in the words of one.

I don't know who it was...but we need to keep an eye on this story.

Yes, indeed, we should (while hoping this Arab HVT was a six-footer...)

One senior U.S. official said there were “no household names — no Bin Laden, no Zawahiri, no Sayed Sheikh (Al-Qaida’s No. 3) targeted,”

Killed another “Top Al Aqaeda Lieutenant?”

Another one? Was his name Mohammed?

Cool. Multiple Hellfires. I don’t care if he was “ a household name” or not. The chump got what he had coming to him. His attack plans were trumped by our attack plan.

Zawahiri?

[McGruff]

Dam. If Obama could have just talked to him first...

[dogger]

Perhaps next time we’ll come back and wipe out the gathering of bad guys that comes to bury their fallen leader.

So we have American predators over Pakistan and American operators shooting missiles into Pakistan... and the Democrats haven’t whined yet?

Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust.

Pieces to pieces.
