"...region regarded as a safe haven for al Qaeda and Taliban militants."

Stand on the target and what do you think is going to happen? The innocents must separate themselves from the scumbags to expose them as they collect in there hovels.

Innocents must participate and point fingers AT the target not stand on it.

I hope someone is working on a “mini-nuke” to be deployed on these Predators....

I’d like to see a MUCH larger “impact” on the targets..
One that would render the target area uninhabitable for a long time.....
