This attack was significant in putting pressure on Haqqani who is likely hiding bin Laden.
Some updates:
Killed were two wives of Haqqani, his sister-in-law, his oldest sister, two nieces, eight grandchildren and a male relative. A son-in-law of Haqqani was wounded.
Also killed were five al Qaeda operatives, two Azerbaijani and three Arabs: Hamza, Musa and Qasim.
Oh, This compound in Danday Darpakhel village is situated in front of the Pakistan Army camp in Miramshah.

The Pakistanis aren't doing about these terrorist bases — seems we have no choice but to stage aerial incursions.

A house, and an Islamic monastery. No doubt, this means that most of the victims were women and children, and a bride and groom and some of their guests, since a wedding was being celebrated as the bombs destroyed the factory where the Islamic monks manufacture baby formula to make money to help the poor Tribal villagers.

I believe I’d move away from these tribal regions if I was a friendly.

And the MSM will assure us that all hits were wedding parties and/or schools full of small children to be sure.

Your tax dollars hard at work: We had to pay the Paki’s $365 million to reopen the Torkham Gate at the Afghani border to our convoys after the SF raid last Wednesday.

With all of this sophisticated technology, you would think that the remote pilots could read the “baby milk factory” sign on the roof </SARC>

EVERY case in which we are accused of killing wives and chillrens these evil spawn of satan, turn out to be ALL lies. I have no problem with killing their entire extended families... I believe in the Elliot Ness school of kick ass. “They put one of ours in the hospital... we put two of theirs in the morgue”!
