Yeah, saw that after I posted it.
But still, Obama does have a “make work” program for terrorboys.

Perhaps a good tactic! Track the target and net a bounty of others? I guess it beats just a stalemate (though, somehow I doubt that many are tracked so well...?)

They should leave Gitmo with a homing device implanted in their butts for the Hellfire Missile.

So did the Daily Caller headline writer obscure the fact the guy was released in 2007 (under GWB) knowingly / intentionally, or was it just sloppy, sensational journalism?

The Dorkbamathing must be livid.

We have killed his bro.

Old dumb Dorkbama will have to purge some more generals.

How dare they kill a muzzie?

“Rauf was reportedly driving a car loaded with ammunition and transporting five other militants when the missile hit.”

During a tonsillectomy he was embedded with a supper stealth
secret transmitter that is totally undetectable days before
his release.
They just monitored him until the time was right and boom.

Hay that’s what I would have done.

They lie so much...I’m not sure of anything anymore. Michelle could be sending this guy his meals for all we REALLY know.

Or, depending on the degree of annihilation, sponge-worthy.

Well, I LIKE the outcome, but it would be far more cost effective to have shot him at GITMO and fed his body to the local pigs.

This article says former-Taliban-now-ISIS Mullah Abdul Rauf was captured by the Taliban.

At first, I thought the same thing. But we did get five of his buddies, too.

Oh, that poor ammunition (sheds a tear for the ammo)...

He was released by the Afghans and their security agency says it was Afghan special forces. Sounds more likely, actually.

He defected from the Taliban to join ISIS. Makes it even more likely: internal disputes among factions of the Middle East bloodthirsty.

Completely reformed, no longer a danger to society...

They don’t need to waste a bullet. All Gitmo needs is about 20 giant, vicious, feral Eurasian boar hybrids from the good old southeast USofA.

Yeah, me too... but I'll bet that car blowed up real good... and for a minute after, probably sounded like a bag of microwave popcorn at the climax... only louder.
