Interesting piece by Ralph Peters on our recent air strike which killed a bunch of civilians and which had Hillary Clinton and BO apologizing profusely. Well, it turns out it was a scam:

This drone technology can be utilized effectively against sea pirates. No place to hide on the water.

And still with a budget of how many billions our vaunted spy agencies can’t find out where bin laden is and take him out with this kind of gear?

We’re not getting our monies worth.

As if the missiles weren't bad enough, now we're dropping puns on Al-Qa'ida. Oh, the humanity!

Could be used against US citizens too.
