Perhaps he was blown to more than one place! ;-)

We seem to have a pretty good amount of drone kills, if it works then we should improve on it. Why spend billions on a few aircraft when for a fraction of the amount we can have warfare assets that “do the job” in large quatities.

I see nothing wrong with having F22 or F35 fleets, but I fail to see future wars needing them. To me its like sending a new Hummer or Corvette into a State Fair Destruction Derby. It looks nice and and bold and macho and all but its up against a whole diverse field of rolling crap and eventually it will succumb.

They should install a speaker in the nose of the these missiles so the Miranda warnings can be auto-broadcast when the range closes in on 100 feet.

“Were rights read? Check...”

This is fantastic news. Keeping these filthy dirtbags nervous every ticking second will be their undoing.
If they are scurrying around hoping they make it alive through each night, it will be increasingly harder for them to maintain focus on their terrible plans.
Excellent job, drone pilots! A grateful nation asks that you keep up the great work.

[Recon Dad]

Somebody go read him his rights!

[G8 Diplomat]

Hakimullah has died a second time now

[Mobties]

[Nabber]

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

What, no Miranda?

[jrolfedrev]

What about the enemy in CONUS? ACLU?

If he’s dead, so be it.

If he’s not, well..we still get to kill more of them.

Thanx!

Now resting in Hades...

[bigheadfred]

Somebody go read him his rights!

HEY HAKI...

It's RIGHT that you were blown to bits
It's RIGHT that you are dead
It's RIGHT that you now burn in HE!!
And tears I will not shed

“Reports of Pakistani Taliban leader’s death are premature”

SNIPPET: “Rumors that the leader of the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan has been killed in a US airstrike have resurfaced in the Pakistani press. But the Taliban have denied the reports and the Pakistani Army and US intelligence officials have no indication that he was killed.”
