You just can't get a decent missile for a lousy million bucks these days.

The Israelis wouldn’t have screwed up.

[Sacajaweau]

And we need to know this why??

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Somebody send Fleabaghead a case of DEPENDS because I’m sure he really shit his pants when the first missile hit.

Don’t worry, Ali asskisser, we’re gonna get you. As the newsman in the original movie of “The Thing”, said in his broadcast, “Look to the skies.”

Yep, ragpicker, it’s death from above coming at you at about 400-500 mph. Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.

Love Tobey Keith.

He’s probably not sleeping all that well these days.

Nearly?

They are just checking to see if this leaked information will bump Odumbos numbers.

[TheZMan]

It’s not a near-miss, it’s a hit.

It’s not an “almost assassinated”, it’s... didn’t.

Why not wait until he comes back to Fairfax, VA in August for summer vacation? Andrews AFB or Quantico would be a short sortie.

"Nearly" is in the ball park of all those 'woulda', 'coulda', 'might have', 'maybe', 'if', 'if only', etc. Don't count for squat and to even report a "nearly" is not only beyond ludicrous, it is asinine, idiotic, and most of all, irrelevant. =.=

If at first you don’t succeed...try, try again.

[gaijin]

Nah, the Griffin is a super new and tiny missile —maybe just 40 pounds. You can carry two or more for every hellfire.

DAMN..!! :(

[dfwgator]

"Missed it by that much."

[Last Dakotan]

I’d have taken at least one of ‘ole reliable - but then I was a Boy Scout.

[Flag_This]

What? Are there no guns on a Harrier?

[ICCtheWay]

Almost only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades and atomic bombs — excuses excuses excuses...

Raytheon's Griffin, a tube-launched, laser-guided
mini-missile reportedly carried by Predators.

Raytheon's Griffin missile makes quiet gains with US military

08/09/10
The US Air Force plans to launch production of a new Raytheon missile to equip its weaponised unmanned air vehicles with a precision-guided projectile featuring a smaller but still potent blast radius.

Although less than one-third the size of Lockheed Martin's AGM-114 Hellfire, the Griffin is among of a new class of miniature, precision-guided weapons rising in demand during an era when aerial strikes on insurgents carries the risk of killing innocent civilians.

Can I sell “Obama nearly killed Al-Awlaki” shirts?

[steve8714]

Don’t we have guns in those Harriers?

[Napoleon Solo]

And I nearly won the lottery except I had the wrong numbers! You just can’t buy a decent Lottery ticket these days.

I almost had a head-on with over one thousand cars today driving on a two lane road.
