DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan Intelligence officials suspect a top militant leader may have been killed in an alleged U.S. missile strike because the Taliban are unusually angry about the attack. Amid reports of the death toll rising to 24, informants and agents in the field said members of the Taliban seem particularly incensed by the latest strike. The fury is a sign that a senior Taliban leader may have been killed, though that has yet to be confirmed, the officials said Sunday. The insurgents were using harsh language against locals, calling them "salable commodities" a reference to people serving as government spies, according to the sources. Two local residents said Taliban fighters had warned people not to discuss the strike with anyone including the media or try inspecting the rubble at the site. The residents asked not to be named for fear of Taliban retaliation. The strike in Mohammadkhel appeared to be the deadliest of 11 reported cross-border operations by U.S.-led forces since Aug. 20. The area is a stronghold of Jalaluddin Haqqani, a veteran Taliban commander regarded by the U.S. as one of its most dangerous foes. Related * Taliban spokesmen and representatives from the Pakistani government and military could not immediately be reached for comment Sunday.

That I doubt! But he is not much of a factor now anyway, probably looks like Saddam did in his hole. Send him a flea collar.

...times 1,000 armed and on station at all times. I would gladly spend whatever computer time necessary to aid in on station time. After last week, it looks like we may need a couple over the (spot in DC self censored) for insurance so we do not have a repeat of the congressional debacle.
I heard that one. I also heard something like this: "If they want meet Allah so badly that they're willing to die to do it, well then let's help by introducing them to him..."
Sweet
Is this what Joe Biden meant when he called the Vice-President the most dangerous one ever in our history? Hey Joe what’s that bulls eye doing on top of your bald head?
